baritone

/ˈbærɪtəʊn//ˈbærɪtəʊn/

The word "baritone" originates from the Italian word "baritono," which itself is derived from the Greek word "barýtonos." "Barýtonos" translates to "heavy sound," referring to the lower pitch range of the baritone voice. This connection to "heavy" is fitting, as the baritone voice falls between the high tenor and the deep bass, with a richness and depth that is often perceived as powerful and weighty.
