son′o·rous·ly adv. son′o·rous·ness n. Usage Note: Traditionally, sonorous was stressed on the second syllable, but the pronunciation with stress on the first syllable is now much more common in American English, with either a short o (sŏn′ər-əs) or a long o (sō′nər-əs). In our 2016 survey, a significant majority of the Usage Panel—64 percent—preferred (sŏn′ər-əs), while 26 percent preferred (sō′nər-əs) and only 9 percent of the Usage Panel preferred the traditional (sə-nôr′əs) pronunciation.
