Definition

reboation (plural: reboations)

A loud reverberation; the echo of a bellow or roar.

Etymology

From Latin reboare (“to resound, roar back”); compare reboant.

Commentary

Reboation describes not merely a sound, but a returning sound — an echo that carries force and resonance. The term evokes cavernous acoustics, roaring animals, thunderous chambers, and environments where sound does not dissipate but rebounds.

The word's rarity lends it a literary quality. It appears in older prose and poetic contexts where acoustic imagery is central.
