Answer

SKIRT

This word refers to a garment worn around the waist that hangs down to cover part or all of the legs. It comes from the Old Norse word 'skyrta' meaning shirt or kirtle. Interestingly, the word can also be used as a verb meaning to go around the edge of something or to avoid dealing with a topic directly.

Strategy Tip

Today's word has a consonant cluster at the beginning, which can be tricky. When you find yourself stuck, try words with common consonant pairs like SK, ST, or TR to test multiple letter combinations at once.
