Yes, but it comes from Latin, from the name of the nymph Echo. Zeus' wife Hera took away her voice and condemned her to be only capable of repeating other people's talk, not to speak on her own.
"AND" is the conjunction linking the two words, echo, and pot.
'Silence' could be used for the purpose, but human language does not really have a word for the opposite of 'echo', just as silence is not the opposite of sound (merely its absence). However, if one considers an echo to have periodicity, we could consider something incessant, such as "din" to be its opposite. However, it is only opposite in a shade of meaning.
John could hear the echo of his canteen hitting rocks as it rolled down the canyon wall.

Well, Zeus would often play with nymphs and echo would always talk to Hera until Zeus left. One day Hera found out and cursed echo that she could never speak, only repeat the last word of what others said. One day Narcissus came and Echo fell deeply in love with him. He was UNBELIEVABLY rude when he said he wasn't interested. She was so upset, she went into a cave and drank no water and ate no food. Eventually, all that was left was her voice, repeating every word you said when you spoke into a cave.
