👉 The plant Smilax china, a liana of much of eastern Asia.
Alright class, settle down now, let’s take a peek,
At the word "porcelain," something delicate and sleek!
The dictionary’s right, it's quite a clever clue,
It points to
Smilax china
, a plant that's growing true.
A liana it is, climbing tall and free,
Across eastern Asia, for all the world to see!
But "porcelain" has a meaning more than just its name,
It’s used to describe something beautiful, quite the same.
Think of fine china, smooth and white and bright,
That's porcelain too - a stunning, gleaming sight!
So it means “smooth” and “fine,” with a delicate grace,
Like the plant itself, in its lovely place.
Does that make sense, my dears? Any questions you might pose?
Let’s explore this word, as knowledge grows!
