Notes on Meaning

Primary Meaning: The core meaning relates to sound quality, specifically a mild impairment in clarity causing a soft, rough, or scratchy sound. It is most commonly applied to human voices.
Secondary Meaning: It can extend to describe the manner of speaking—speaking softly and without confidence, where the faintness comes from emotion (shyness, fear) rather than a physical throat condition. The context usually makes the intended meaning clear.
