Definition
Hand-held fireworks that burn brightly while giving off sparks, commonly used in celebrations like Independence Day.
Etymology
From 'sparkle' (to emit sparks), which comes from Old Norse 'spraka' meaning to crackle. The '-er' suffix makes it an agent noun (something that sparkles).
Kelly Says
Sparklers burn at about 1200°C (2200°F)—hot enough to melt metal—which is why they're far more dangerous than they look and cause thousands of hand injuries yearly, especially among kids!
