Reverberate
Definition:
(a.) Reverberant.
(a.) Driven back, as sound; reflected.
(v. t.) To return or send back; to repel or drive back; to echo, as sound; to reflect, as light, as light or heat.
(v. t.) To send or force back; to repel from side to side; as, flame is reverberated in a furnace.

(v. i.) To resound; to echo.
(v. i.) To be driven back; to be reflected or repelled, as rays of light; to be echoed, as sound.
