Morphology
resonate = resonance (semi-transparent) = re + reson + ate
The figurative sense ('to have a powerful or sympathetic effect') extends from the literal 'echo', so the semantic relation is clear but relies on the non-standalone combining form 'reson-'.
Etymology
Resonate comes from the Latin parts re- ('again') and sonare ('to sound'), which gives the image of an idea that 'echoes' in someone. So when something resonates with a person, it 'sounds again' in their mind or feelings and feels meaningful.
