Definition: A plait or fold in cloth, made by drawing a thread through it; a pucker.
Alright class, settle down now, let’s take a look! Today we’re tackling the word “gather,” and I see you’ve got a tricky definition from the dictionary. It's true, it can describe a fold in fabric – like when you make a pleat or a ruffle, a little bit of flair! A plait or fold, that’s what it is, if you want to be clear. But “gather” has a much bigger meaning, don’t you see? It means to collect , to bring things together as one, you agree? Think about this: You gather leaves in autumn bright, Or gather friends for fun and light! It can also mean to draw something closer, like when a plant grows tall, it gathers sunlight from all. So, while the dictionary gives us a little detail on cloth’s design, remember "gather" is really about bringing things together in its prime! Does that make sense? Any questions before we move on to our next word?
