From the word’s history

From Old French vois, from Latin vōx 'voice'.

源自拉丁文 vōx「聲音」,經古法文進入英文,和 vocal 同源。

Wiktionary

You can picture the air pushing up from your chest, your throat shaping it, and sound coming out of your mouth — that stream of sound is your voice. Everything else stretches from this: the singing version of it, and then the idea that whatever a person 'sends out' into the world (their opinion, their wish) is also their 'voice', even when no actual sound is involved.

可以想成一股氣從胸口推上來,喉嚨把它塑形,聲音從嘴巴流出來——這條聲音的流就是 voice。其他意思都從這裡延伸:先是唱歌時的那把嗓子,再來是一個更抽象的想法:一個人「送出去」給世界的東西(他的意見、他的心願)也算是他的「聲音」,就算其實沒發出半點聲響。
