Answer

EMPTY

This common English adjective comes from the Old English word 'aemtig' which originally meant 'at leisure' or 'unoccupied.' Over time, its meaning shifted to describe something containing nothing or lacking contents. The word is used both literally to describe physical containers and figuratively to express emotional states or meaninglessness.

Strategy Tip

Today's word has four consonants and just one vowel. When you are stuck, remember that Y can function as a vowel and appears at the end of many common words. Do not forget to try words with Y in that final position.
