Answer

RAYON

Rayon is a semi synthetic fiber made from regenerated cellulose, typically derived from wood pulp. It was first commercially produced in the early 1900s as an affordable alternative to silk, earning it the nickname artificial silk. The name comes from the French word for ray or beam, referring to its lustrous appearance.

Strategy Tip

Words with the letter Y can be tricky because Y often appears in specific positions. When you suspect a Y might be present, try placing it at the end or as a vowel substitute in the middle of the word.
