Acrobat | AK-roh-bat | noun |

An acrobat is someone who puts on an amazing gymnastic performance in a circus or onstage. Many acrobats perform high in the air on a trapeze or tightrope. Acrobat means “one who goes to the top” or “one who walks high up,” from the Greek akros, meaning “height,” the “tip of a peak,” or the “top of something high up,” and bainein, meaning “to go” or “to walk.” It’s related to the Greek akrobatos, a word for walking on your tiptoes or climbing up high.

Buoy | BOO-ee | noun |

A buoy is a floating object placed in the ocean to warn boats and ships about areas in the water that are dangerous or shallow. It likely comes from a Proto-Germanic root meaning “signal” or “beacon,” or perhaps from an Old French word for “chain” because buoys are usually attached to the ocean floor by chains. Because buoys float, the adjective “buoyant” refers to something that floats or the emotional state of feeling light and happy.

Caribou | KAIR-uh-boo | noun |

A caribou is a large type of reindeer. Its name is an Algonquian (Native American) word meaning “pawer” or “scratcher” because it digs in the snow with its hooves to find moss and grass.
