Etymology of INTONATED
The word "intonated" comes from the verb "intone" + the suffix "-ate".
The verb "intone" has its origins in the Latin word "intonare", which means "to thunder, to resound". It was formed by combining the prefix "in" (meaning "in" or "into") and "tonare" (meaning "to thunder").
Over time, "intone" came to mean "to utter melodically or rhythmically" and is often associated with chanting or singing in a monotone or specific manner.
The suffix "-ate" is added to the base word "intone" to create the adjective form "intonated". This suffix is commonly used to derive adjectives from verbs, indicating the state or condition of the root word.
