Definition
A musical or acoustic device that produces harmonic sounds; an instrument or apparatus for generating or transmitting harmonic tones.
Etymology
From Greek harmonic (harmonikos) + -phone (from phone, voice/sound). This variation on harmoniphon uses the more common '-phone' ending used in words like telephone and microphone.
Kelly Says
During the Industrial Revolution, inventors combined Greek roots to name new sound-producing devices—many failed, but this naming pattern gave us working words like telephone, megaphone, and xylophone that we still use daily.
