[C/U] Both
pl: resonancespast: nullpp: nulling: nullcomp: nullsup: null
This word captures the feeling of an echo that lingers, whether in the air or in the mind. It suggests a harmony between two things where one triggers a sympathetic response in the other, creating a magnified effect. It is often used to describe a sense of deep connection or alignment. In emotional contexts, it is more profound than simple agreement. When an idea has resonance, it does not just make sense; it vibrates with a person's own lived experience, making the information feel personally true and significant.
Uncountable when referring to the physical property of sound or vibration. Countable when referring to a specific instance of emotional connection or a particular resonant frequency.
