👉 The loose part of a coat; the lower part of a garment that plays loosely; a skirt; an apron.
Alright class, settle down and let’s take a look!
Today we’re tackling “lap,” a word that might seem simple, but holds a few tricks. The dictionary's given you a good start, it’s true,
Let’s break it down, for me and for you!
It’s the
loose part
of a coat, a comfy place to rest your feet,
A cozy spot where warmth and comfort meet!
Think of a blanket draped with gentle grace,
Resting upon your lap, a happy space.
Then there's the
lower part
of a garment’s flow,
Like a skirt or apron – watch how they go!
It’s the bit that hangs down, soft and free,
A flowing detail for all to see.
So "lap" can mean a place to sit and sigh,
Or part of clothing, reaching toward the sky -
(Well, not
really
the sky, but you get my rhyme!)
Do you have any questions about this little word? Let's discuss!
