Root Explanation

Reverbed is formed from "re-" (meaning again) and "verberare" (meaning to strike or beat). The word describes the action of echoing or resounding again, as if being struck repeatedly.

Memory Tip

Think of the idea of something 'striking again' — 're-' means again, and 'verberare' means to strike. This helps you remember that 'reverbed' refers to something that echoes or resounds.
