Morphology

reechoing = reecho (transparent) = re + echo + ing

The adjective is a regular participial formation from the verb 'reecho', meaning 'echoing again or repeatedly'.

Etymology

Reechoing combines re- ('again') and echo ('sound that comes back'), so it means a sound that repeats or 'bounces back' in a space, which is why laughter or footsteps can be called reechoing.
