Consonants are called so because the sound is produced by obstructing the flow of air at some point in the vocal tract, creating friction or closure. This contrasts with vowels, where the flow of air is relatively unobstructed. The term "consonant" comes from Latin roots meaning "sounding with" or "sounding together," reflecting the idea that consonants are usually paired with vowels to form syllables.
