Morphology

resonate + in

The sense 'to have a strong or lasting presence in a place or situation' is directly built from 'resonate' (to strike a chord; be felt or understood) plus the locative preposition 'in', so the location/target of the resonance is explicit. This is a straightforward compositional pattern (verb + preposition indicating place/target) that learners who know both constituents can readily infer.

Etymology

The expression resonate in comes from the image of a sound that keeps echoing inside a space, with resonate like an echo and in meaning 'inside'. Imagine a voice that keeps ringing in a room, so an idea or feeling that 'resonates in' a place or mind keeps a strong, lasting effect.
