ETYMOLOGY
from Latin rhonchus (a snoring) + sonans, p. pr. of sonare (to sound)
EXAMPLE
“…Out marches the paleontologist Collett,
And with his little hammer
And scientific grammar
First knocks a mammoth tooth,
To put into his grip-sack;
Then constructs an awful name
By means of which to skip back
With a great rhonchisonant fury, on
The epochs carboniferous and Silurian…”
