How Do You Spell BUCKLED?

Pronunciation: [bˈʌkə͡ld] (IPA)

The word "buckled" is spelled with a /k/ sound instead of a /g/ sound due to the silent 'k' in the middle of the word. The correct IPA phonetic transcription for this word is /ˈbʌkəld/. The word 'buckle', from which 'buckled' is derived, has a 'k' sound as well. This is because it comes from an Old English word 'bucca' which meant 'a male goat'. The spelling of 'buckled' may look odd, but it is due to its etymology.

BUCKLED Meaning and Definition

  1. Buckled is an adjective that describes something that has become twisted, bent, or folded under pressure or strain. It can also refer to an object that is deformed, warped, or malformed due to excessive stress, weight, or force.

    When we say an object is buckled, it means that it has lost its original shape or structure, appearing crumpled, collapsed, or contorted. This can occur when an item undergoes intense pressure or tension, causing it to give way and become misshapen.

    The term can be applied to various situations and objects. For instance, if a metal pipe is subjected to high temperature or excessive weight, it may buckle, resulting in a curved or twisted appearance. Similarly, a buckled wheel or a buckled rim on a car can occur after a heavy impact or collision.

    In the context of personal belongings, clothing or accessories like belts can also buckle when stretched beyond their limit or when put under continuous pressure. Additionally, we can use this word metaphorically to describe situations or systems that have given in or collapsed due to stress, such as when an economy buckles under the weight of an economic crisis.

    Overall, buckled suggests a state of deformation or distortion caused by pressure or strain, and the resulting damage alters the object's original form or function.
