How to spell article

What it means: A piece of writing in a publication.

In a sentence: I read an article about dinosaurs yesterday. ▶

The part people get wrong

Watch for an unstressed vowel that is hard to hear.

Same family: articles (plural), article (newspaper or magazine text sense), article of law, articulate, articulation. If you can spell one, the shared part carries to the others.

Where it comes from: Article comes from the Latin word 'articulus,' meaning a small joint or part. This idea of a 'small part' is why an article can be a single section of a law or contract, separate from the others.
