Word origin

共鸣 (gòngmíng, "resonance") is built from 共 (gòng, "together") + 鸣 (míng, "sound"), linking shared sound with the later sense of a shared emotional or intellectual response.

Usage tips

  • A statement can evoke this response even when the listener does not agree with every detail, so the word is stronger and more personal than simple approval.
