The resounding is something categorical or conclusive.
Rotundo is a term in our language that comes from the Latin adjective rotundus , in turn coming from rota ( "wheel" ). The concept can refer to that which is round (that is, having a circular shape).
The most common use of the concept , however, is linked to what is blunt , conclusive or categorical . For example: “The presentation of the Spanish singer in the Swiss stadium was a resounding success,” “The people, through their vote, made their resounding rejection of the neoliberal policies proposed by the candidates felt,” “The coach was resounding and “He assured that he does not plan to resign.”
The resounding associated with an affirmation or a denial
It is common for the idea of resounding to be associated with an affirmation or a denial . Suppose that, in a certain country, a plebiscite is held to define the autonomy of a region. If 93% of the population votes in favor of autonomy, it can be said that the people gave a “resounding yes” to the initiative.
On the other hand, if, upon news that a government plans to modify the Constitution to enable the indefinite re-election of the president, thousands of people gather in a square to protest, it could be indicated that there was a “resounding no” from the people to the project.
Years ago, in Spain , the media headlines alluded to Podemos ' " resolute no" to reaching an agreement with the PSOE if it maintained its agreement with Ciudadanos , and to PSOE leader Pedro Sánchez 's " resolute no" to establishing a possible agreement with Mariano Rajoy , then Spanish president and leader of the PP.
A vote can end with a resounding result.
Speeches and actions
The resounding can be determined by the discursive or by the actions .
A person can flatly deny something by the words he pronounces or by the tone he uses in his speech . On the other hand, a tennis player can obtain a resounding victory if he wins his match 6-0 / 6-0 , regardless of what he says before or after the match.
The resounding thing linked to entertainment and art
Likewise, the idea of resounding is also frequently used within the field of television, specifically to refer to the success or failure of programs or series. A clear example could be the following: “The end of the series The Prince was a resounding success as it became one of the most watched spaces on the small screen in recent years in Spain.”
And this, in the same way, would be transferred to the field of music or even cinema. Hence there is talk of the overwhelming and resounding triumph at the box office of the premieres of numerous productions as well as the concerts of certain artists.
a herbicide
We cannot overlook that Rotundo is also the name of a systematic action herbicide that is composed of glyphosate.
This product is usually used to control weeds that are in the active growth phase.
