SOUGHED Meaning and
Definition
-
Soughed is a verb that refers to the soft, murmuring sound made by the wind as it passes through trees, foliage, or other objects. The term is often used to describe the gentle rustling or whispering noise produced by the wind in a peaceful or natural setting.
When the wind soughs, it creates a soothing and calming effect, often associated with a tranquil environment such as a forest or a beach surrounded by trees. The soughing sound is typically characterized by its low and continuous nature, resembling a gentle whisper or sigh.
The term "soughed" can also be used metaphorically to describe soft, murmuring sounds created by other sources, such as running water in a stream or the movement of large crowds or gatherings. In this context, it is used to convey a sense of gentle motion or unobtrusive background noise.
The word "soughed" derives from the Old English word "sūgan," meaning "to sigh or mourn." It is closely related to the Middle English term "swoughen," which means "to murmur or whisper softly." Both of these roots emphasize the soft, gentle, and peaceful nature of the sound created by wind or other objects soughing.
