soundbite

/ˈsaʊndˌbaɪt/ noun

Alternative spelling of sound bite.

Word Origin Soundbite is a modern compound of sound (from Latin sonus 'sound') and bite (from Old English bītan 'to bite'). It's a short, catchy snippet of speech, like a bite-sized piece of sound. The same roots give us sound (and its relatives like consonant, dissonance, sonorous) and bite (with bitter, frostbite, snakebite). The PIE root *bʰeyd- 'to split, bite' also gives us bit and bitter.
