Best Answer

It means to echo, such as sound. If you mean to ask why it occurs, it is because surface reflects the sound waves.

As a guess, imagine a recessed field and buildings or a pond on the other side. Some of the sound waves travel directly to the structures on the other side, while some take a longer path. Those that take the longer path take longer to bounce off the surface than those that go straight across. Sound can be delayed because gases (including air) can be compressed, and the more air sound has to travel through, the longer it takes to be heard.
