Origins
Noun use of the participle cōnsonāns, in elliptical use for littera cōnsonāns (literally “resounding letter”). This is a semantic loan from Ancient Greek σύμφωνον (súmphōnon). The components of the Latin word do not exactly correspond to those of the Greek word; a word that more precisely corresponds to the Greek would be cōnsona.
