engine

/ˈɛn.dʒɪn/

nounen · gine

Think: an ENgine has energy—both start with “EN.”

Yes, it's engine. The tricky part is the ending: it’s **-ine** (engine), not **-ine** like “en-jine” or **-en** like “enginen.”

Definitions

  2. nounThe part of a vehicle or machine that provides the power to run it.
