Origin and Evolution of echoing

First Known Use: 1601 year
Language of Origin: Greek
Story behind the word: The word 'echoing' originated from the Greek myth of Echo, a nymph who was cursed by Hera to only be able to repeat the last words spoken to her.
Evolution of the word: Over time, the word 'echoing' has come to be used to describe the sound of a repeated sound bouncing off surfaces, rather than the literal repetition of words as in the myth of Echo.
