Etymology: "Multisound" is a plain English compound: "multi-", from Latin "multus" meaning "many" (the same root behind "multiple" and "multitude"), joined to "sound", which came into English from Old French "son" and Latin "sonus." Combining "multi-" with an English noun to make a new adjective is a very productive habit in English, and it has been used for centuries in technical fields. Its most likely use is in music, audio engineering, and acoustics, where it describes a sound made up of several overlapping tones, samples, or frequencies, or a thing that produces many sounds at once.
