resonated
Rang emotionally true
Resonated is the past tense of resonate, meaning to produce or be filled with a deep, reverberating sound: The gong resonated through the temple.
More commonly now, it describes when something strikes a chord emotionally or intellectually: Her speech resonated with voters.
If an idea resonates, it feels meaningful or relevant to the listener—it echoes within them.
