Root Explanation
Reboant is derived from the Latin root "re-" (meaning again) and "boare" (meaning to roar or to sound). The word describes a sound that echoes or resounds again, as if it is roaring back.
Memory Tip
Think of a sound that 'roars again' — 're-' means again, and 'boare' means to roar. This helps you remember that 'reboant' refers to a sound that echoes back.
