columns

/ˈkɑːləmz/

nouncol · umns

Think: "COL" + "UMNS"—the "u" is hiding, so you see col-mns but say COL-umz.

Yes, it's columns. The tricky part is the silent **n** in **column** (and **columns**): spell **col + umn + s**.

Definitions

  1. nounMore than one column; vertical sections in a table, page, or arrangement.
  2. nounMore than one column; upright supporting posts or pillars, often in buildings.

Examples

  • “Please write your answers in two columns on the paper.”
  • “The spreadsheet has three columns: name, date, and score.”
