Definition
A single small drop of dew that forms on plants, grass, or other surfaces during cool mornings when moisture condenses.
Etymology
From Old English 'dew' (daug, related to dawn) + 'drop' (Old English dropa). The compound literally describes a droplet of dew, commonly used since medieval times in poetry and literature.
Kelly Says
Dewdrops have fascinated humans forever—photographers call them 'nature's pearls' because they refract light into tiny rainbows, and in medieval poems they symbolized purity and the fleeting beauty of life itself!
