Susurration: n. A soft, whispering or rustling sound; a murmur.
Yesterday morning I awoke to the susurrous sound of rain falling steadily on trees, balcony and street. It is a calming sound and had I opened the window then I could have added the higher pitter-patter of droplets hitting the glass.
Susurration is one of those words that sounds like its meaning; it is a purring rumble that makes its way out of the mouth. I love the sheer volume of vocabulary – the way I am surprised by the sudden recollection of a word or stumbling across a new one.
