Root Explanation

Reverberative → It is formed from "re-" (meaning again) and "verberare" (meaning to strike or beat). The word "reverberative" describes something that strikes back or echoes again, often used in the context of sound or light reflecting back.

Memory Tip

Think of something that 'strikes back' ('verberare') again ('re-') — that's why reverberative means echoing or reflecting.
