👉 A wing of a building, notably in a church separated from the nave proper by piers.
Alright class, settle down and let’s take a look! That definition you read is quite a surprise, isn't it? A "wing" of a building, specifically a church – that’s not what “isle” usually means, my dears. Let me clear the air, with a little rhyme to share: “ Isle - it's a land, small and neat, A tiny island, oh so sweet! Like Scotland's Isle of Skye, you see, Or sandy beaches for you and me!” Think of places like Nantucket or Capri – those are isles! They’re pieces of land surrounded by water. The dictionary definition was actually referring to a section within a church, a space separated from the main part. It’s called an ‘aisle,’ notice the spelling difference? Aisle is for buildings, isle is for land! Do you have any questions about this little wordplay? Let's discuss!
