Answer

CAMEO

A cameo has two main meanings: a brief appearance by a famous person in a film, play, or other performance, and a piece of jewelry or carved item showing a raised portrait in profile against a contrasting background. The word comes from Italian, possibly derived from the Arabic word 'qamaa'il' meaning flower buds, referring to the layered appearance of carved shell cameos.

Strategy Tip

Today's word is vowel heavy with three vowels out of five letters. When you notice lots of vowels lighting up but few consonants, try words that cluster multiple vowels together. Words ending in EO or IO can be tricky to spot.
