Narrator: Today's word is "watermelon" — a noun, pronounced /ˈwɔː.təˌmel.ən/, with the stress on "water".
Narrator: A watermelon is a large, round fruit with a green rind and sweet, juicy, usually red flesh full of water.
Narrator: In plain English, a watermelon is that big summer fruit — refreshing, dripping with juice, and dotted with seeds.
Narrator: It's a compound word, joining "water" and "melon", because the fruit is mostly water — over ninety percent.
Narrator: It originally grew in Africa thousands of years ago, then spread across the world as a beloved warm-weather treat.
Narrator: Over the centuries, growers bred sweeter, redder, juicier varieties, and even seedless ones for easy eating.
Narrator: Its name also inspired a colour, "watermelon pink", a bright, cheerful shade between red and coral.
Narrator: In tone it's everyday, warm, and cheerful — a word that instantly brings to mind summer, picnics, and sunshine.
