Root Explanation

Reverb is formed from "re-" (meaning again) and "verberare" (meaning to beat or strike). The word describes the effect of sound being reflected back, as if it is being struck again.

Memory Tip

Think of sound that is 'struck again' — 're-' means again, and 'verberare' means to beat. This helps you remember that reverb refers to sound reflecting back.
