Etymology
Resonant comes from re- ('again') and sonare ('to sound'), so it originally meant 'sound again'. A helpful way to remember the meaning about feelings is to imagine an idea or image that keeps 'echoing' in your mind like a deep note — that's why something resonant makes you feel or remember strongly.
