the.com/unison
Everyone hitting the same note, so no one finds out who can't sing.
means Speaking, singing, or acting all together at the same time, as one voice instead of many.
from From Latin unisonus, 'having one sound' — uni- (one) plus sonus (sound), the same sonus that gives us 'sonic' and 'sonnet.' It passed through French into English, keeping its original musical sense of voices or instruments sounding a single pitch together before it loosened into the broader 'all at once, in agreement' we use today.
