reecho

Bounce back twice

To reecho is to echo again or repeatedly—a sound bouncing back multiple times, or a sentiment being repeated and amplified: Her words reechoed through the empty hall.

The term suggests both literal acoustic repetition and figurative resonance: His father's warnings reechoed in his mind.
