How to spell test
What it means: To try something to see how well it works.
In a sentence: Tim decided to test his new toy car on the living room floor.
The part people get wrong
Often misspelled as tset or tes.
Same family: tests, testing, tested, exam, quiz. If you can spell one, the shared part carries to the others.
Where it comes from: The word "test" comes from an Old French word for a small cup used to check the quality of metals. Over time, the idea of checking quality turned into our modern meaning of an exam or trial.
