Podcast 1 — Introduction & meaning
Narrator: Today's word is "Ricket" — noun, pronounced /ˈrɪkɪt/, with the stress on "rick".
Narrator: Ricket is a rare singular form taken from rickets, a disease that softens children's bones.
Narrator: In plain English, it relates to the bone disease rickets.
Narrator: Rickets is first recorded in seventeenth-century England; its origin is uncertain.
Narrator: A common collocation is "rickets in children", which describes the usual form of the disease.
Narrator: It differs from "rickets", because rickets is the correct medical name, while ricket is rare and informal.
Narrator: In a second sense, the adjective rickety, meaning shaky, comes from the same word.
Narrator: Medicine, nutrition, history and public health all rely on the word.
Narrator: So remember: ricket points to rickets, and to shaky things.
