8 Letter Words Word Search
Every word in this 8-letter words word search is a plain, everyday one: dinosaur, flamingo, kangaroo, mushroom, sandwich, squirrel and umbrella among the forty.
At eight letters most words break into parts a reader already knows. Some are two short words joined, base and ball, pine and cone, pin and wheel. Others hide a pair of letters that says nothing at all, like the gh in daughter and doughnut, or a doubled letter in the middle, the cc in broccoli and the rr in squirrel. Mushroom looks like the joined kind and is not one: it came into English from the Old French mousseron, and the room crept into the spelling because it looked familiar.
Several of these traveled a long way. Dinosaur was coined in 1842 by the British scientist Richard Owen from two Greek words meaning terrible lizard. Kangaroo comes from gangurru in the Guugu Yimithirr language of northern Australia, written down by James Cook's crew in 1770; the story that it meant I don't understand you is a myth. Mosquito is Spanish for little fly, and umbrella comes from the Italian ombrella, from the Latin umbra, shade.
