cigarette

/ˌsɪɡəˈɹɛt/

nouncig · a · rette

Think: **CIG** (a smoke) + **A** + **RETTE** (sounds like “wRETT”): **cig-a-rette**.

Yes, it's cigarette. Don’t swap the middle vowels: it’s **cig-a-** (not *cig-e-*), and it ends with **-ette**.

Definition

Examples

  • “He threw the cigarette into the ashtray and opened a window.”
  • “The sign said, "No cigarette smoking inside the building."”
