What does Echo mean as a verb? The new findings echo the results of previous studies, and lawmakers should take this research into consideration when drafting new policies, the researchers said. [Marijuana vs. Alcohol: Which Is Really Worse for Your Heath? A quick question for you: what does the verb "Echo" mean in this sentence? Does it mean the new findings are going along with, or against with the previous findings? Thanks a lot. I really appreciate it as always. :)

It means that it agrees. If something metaphorically "echoes" something else, it means that it says the same thing (like an echo repeats the original sound).

The word usually used in this context is 'reproduce', which is what an echo does to the original sound.
