A sharp, hurting feeling like when a bee pokes you with its stinger.
This word comes from an old word meaning 'to pierce' - just like how a bee's stinger pierces your skin!
A sting is a sharp 'ouch!' feeling, like when a bee or wasp pokes you. It hurts for a little while, but putting something cold on it can help it feel better!
