sonorous
意味: Having a deep, full, and impressively rich sound; resonant and imposing in tone.
Sonorous describes sounds that are not merely loud but deep, rounded, and commanding — a cathedral bell, a baritone voice, or the rolling cadences of formal oratory. It can carry a faintly ironic edge when applied to speech that prioritises grandeur over substance. In literary criticism, sonorous prose is richly textured and rhythmically assured, though the word can imply a certain heaviness if used carelessly.
