what is susurrus
Susurrous derives from the Latin noun susurrus, meaning a hum or a whisper, and may be a distant relative of swarm (think of the collective hum of a beehive). Susurrus also occurs as an English noun, with the meaning a whispering or rustling sound.. Of the two English words, the noun is the older (it debuted in 1826); susurrous came onto the scene about thirty years later.
