Pronounced as (IPA)

Etymology

Cognate with English: sound

Cognate with Portuguese: som

In summary

From Latin sonus, probably through the intermediate of Old Occitan son (or influenced by it); alternatively, but less likely, regressively derived from the verb sonar (the more expected form is sueno that appeared in some Medieval texts). Compare English sound and Portuguese som.
