What does Echo really mean?

Alright, so an "echo" is when you make a sound and then you hear that same sound again. It's like when you shout in a big empty room and then you hear your voice bouncing back to you. So, it's like your voice is bouncing off the walls and coming back to you. That's an echo! It's kind of like getting a response from the room itself. But, you know, an echo isn't just for sounds - it can also be used to talk about ideas or feelings being repeated. Like if someone says something and then other people start saying the same thing, it's like the idea is echoing around the room. So, it's not just a sound thing, it can be a thought or feeling thing too. Cool, right? Echoes are kind of like when you say "hello" and then someone says "hello" back to you - it's like your words are bouncing off that person and coming back to you. So, that's what "echo" means - it's like sound bouncing back, or an idea or feeling being repeated. I hope that makes sense!
