echo, sound, resound, ring, vibrate
響 centers on sound that spreads and returns: an echo, a ringing vibration, or a resonant sound that fills a space.
響 combines 音 (sound) with 鄉, which likely contributes the idea of sound traveling or echoing back. The exact historical role of 鄉 is uncertain.
The top part 鄉 suggests a village or direction, and the bottom 音 is sound. Imagine sound bouncing off the walls of a village, creating echoes that ring and vibrate.
For キョウ, picture a loud echo in a canyon: the sound 'kyo' bounces back and forth, cueing キョウ as the resonant ring.
