Answer

GRASP

Today's word can function as both a verb and a noun, describing the act of seizing or holding something tightly, or the ability to understand something. It comes from Middle English 'graspen' and is related to similar words in Germanic languages. The word is commonly used both literally, as in physically grabbing something, and figuratively, as in getting a grasp on a difficult subject.

Strategy Tip

Words ending in SP can be tricky because this consonant cluster is less common. If you suspect an SP ending, try words like CRISP or CLASP early to confirm or eliminate that pattern.
