chameleon

June 21, 2016 Thanh Nguyen Tu

Look closely at that branch or leaf — you might be able to spot a chameleon hiding. These little lizards are able to change color and adapt to their backgrounds, blending in to hide from predators.

Pronunciation: /kəˈmiː.li.ən/

Origin: The history of the word chameleon goes back to the Greek word khamaileōn, which meant "lion on the ground," maybe because of the creature’s somewhat scary face, or maybe because the ridge around the creature’s head looks something like a lion’s mane. In Old French it became chaméléon, which stuck. Today there are two acceptable spellings, chameleon and chamaeleon. We often use the word today to refer to a person who is changeable or inconsistent.

Syllable Breakdown:

EXAMPLE SENTENCES:

  • They hunt bugs, birds, mice, and even other chameleons using only one weapon: their tongues.
  • Voice artists are professional chameleons, creating new sounds for new characters; range is what the work requires.

*New word description, story and part of "EXAMPLE SENTENCE" are cited in Vocabulary
