The Sky was Never #StarSpangled Better than the #Fireworks-Show of #JulyFourth2022 #MidwestCity #Oklahoma (near @MidwestCityCVB @OasisMidwest1 @Pearle_MWC @FNBMWC) | maybe @Bing'll find it
We can discuss it (and make a little money) in a forum linked through 'those words' below; but first I want to understand those words better. And I find you understand words better if you look at 'the words at their base' (then going on to look at the words at those words' bases, then the words at those words' bases, etc.-etc. ad infinitum)
Star-Spangled (of course) means that it was #Spangled with Stars, like the upper corner square of the American Flag (which earns it the nicknames #StarSpangledBanner or #StarsAndStripes)
The word “Spangled (Covered with Small Pieces of |Glittering, Glistening Metal like |Buckles or |Brooches or |Clasps or other |Ornaments)” is built on ancient words that mean "to Draw, Stretch, |Spin."
#Spangling #Spangly #Bespangle #Spangle #Spangles
The word "Fireworks (|Pyrotechnic |Contrivances)" is built out of the words Fire + Works.
