Answer

BULGE

This word describes a rounded swelling or protrusion that curves outward from a surface. It can function as both a noun (the bulge in his jacket pocket) and a verb (his eyes bulged with surprise). The word comes from Old French 'boulge' meaning a leather bag, which itself derived from Latin 'bulga.'

Strategy Tip

Today's word contains the letter U, which appears less frequently than other vowels. If you have ruled out common vowel positions, try words with U in the second position to help narrow down possibilities.
