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.
