单词 sonorous
释义
sonorous
(once / 1799 pages)
adj

Used to describe sound or speech that is full, rich, and deep, sonorous is a great word for snoring, for bass voices, and for low notes on the tuba.
Skip the first "o" and you'll see snore inside this word, which should give you a clue as to its deeply resonant character. Another way to remember sonorous is that son sounds like "sound," and that's what this word is all about.
WORD FAMILY
sonorous: sonority, sonorously, sonorousness+/sonority: sonorities
