reverberation = reverberate (semi-transparent) = reverberate + ion
Formed by the same nominalization process, but the sense is a metaphorical extension (effects or consequences) rather than the literal acoustic phenomenon.
Etymology
Reverberation comes from Latin parts re- 'again' and verberare 'to strike'. A helpful way to remember the figurative use is to picture the effects of an event as echoes that 'strike again' elsewhere, so the later results or consequences are its reverberations.
