Morphology

resound + across

The verb 'resound' already means to echo or fill with sound and the preposition 'across' indicates distribution through a space or group, so their combination directly yields 'to be heard widely throughout a place or group.' This is a straightforward compositional pattern (verb + spatial preposition) that is cross-linguistically common and thus predictable for a B1 learner who knows both constituents.

Etymology

The verb resound across comes from the image of a sound, like a cheer or song, that resounds and travels across streets or rooms. So, this picture explains why it means 'to be heard widely' or to have an effect that reaches many people.
