How Do You Spell BROOM?

Pronunciation: [bɹˈuːm] (IPA)

The word "broom" is spelled with five letters and is pronounced /bruːm/. The first sound is the bilabial consonant /b/, made by pressing the lips together and releasing a puff of air. The second sound is a long vowel /uː/, pronounced with the mouth open and tongue relaxed. The final sound is a voiceless bilabial /m/, which is made by closing the lips and releasing a puff of air, similar to the /b/ sound. The combination of these sounds creates the distinct and easy-to-remember spelling of "broom."

BROOM Meaning and Definition

1. A broom is a household cleaning tool consisting of a long handle, often made of wood or plastic, attached to a brush-like head. It is primarily used for sweeping and removing dirt, dust, and debris from floors and other surfaces. The head of a broom is typically made of strong and durable bristles, which are usually made from natural materials like straw, horsehair, or synthetic fibers such as nylon.

   Brooms come in various shapes and sizes to accommodate different cleaning needs. They can have a flat or angled head, allowing for effective sweeping in corners and hard-to-reach areas. Some brooms may have a built-in dustpan attached to the head, making it convenient to collect the swept-up debris.

   The action of using a broom involves pushing or pulling it across the floor, causing the bristles to trap and gather loose particles, which are then easily disposed of. Brooms are commonly used in households, offices, schools, and other establishments to maintain cleanliness and tidiness.

   In addition to its cleaning functionality, a broom can also symbolize domestic chores, hard work, and cleanliness in various cultural contexts or idiomatic expressions. Its iconic shape and familiarity make the word "broom" widely recognized and understood across different cultures and nations.
