Morphology

sense + of + resonance

The phrase is a straightforward composition: 'sense' = feeling or awareness and 'resonance' = emotional or ideational harmony, so 'sense of resonance' literally means a feeling of resonance. The 'sense of X' construction is a common, transparent noun phrase pattern cross-linguistically, so a B1 learner who knows the constituents can readily infer the meaning.

Etymology

Sense of resonance comes from the image of two bells: when one bell rings, the other rings too and their sounds match. That picture shows resonance — when music, words, or art make something inside you 'vibrate', you feel a 'deep connection' or 'emotional echo'.
