How to spell galaxy
What it means: A collection of stars in space.
In a sentence: The night sky sparkled with a bright galaxy full of stars.
The part people get wrong
Often misspelled as galaxi or galaxie.
Same family: galaxies, intergalactic, galactic, Milky Way, universe. If you can spell one, the shared part carries to the others.
Where it comes from: The word "galaxy" comes from the Greek word "galaxias," which is related to "gala," meaning "milk"—a reference to the milky band of light we see in the sky. That is why our own galaxy is called the Milky Way.
