How to spell creation

Creation is spelled C-R-E-A-T-I-O-N.

What it means: An object or thing that someone has made.

In a sentence: She proudly showed her art teacher her new creation. ▶

The part people get wrong

Watch for an unstressed vowel that is hard to hear.

Same family: creator, creative, creativity, recreation, recreate. If you can spell one, the shared part carries to the others.

Where it comes from: Creation comes from the Latin word 'creatio', from 'creare', meaning 'to make, bring forth, or produce'. The same Latin root also gave us 'creature' and 'creative', all connected to the idea of bringing something new into existence.
