![Welcome to our very first Woodland Word of the Month. Each month, we’ll discover a beautiful nature-inspired word that deserves to be used a little more often. Can you spot it in this month’s tale? [See last week’s posts].
🍂 🍁 🍃 This month our word is DAPPLED 🍃 🍂 🍁
.
Meaning: Marked with small, irregular patches or spots of different colours or shades.
The word dappled has been used since the early 15th century. Its exact origins aren’t certain, but it may come from old Scandinavian words meaning “spot” or “splash of water.”
It was also used to describe horses with mottled, patchy coats - much like the pattern of spots you might see on an apple.
Today, we often use dappled to describe things such as sunlight filtering through leaves, creating little patches of light and shadow.
Keep your eyes open for a little dappled magic this week…
