Wreaths

/reθz/ noun

Definition

Circular arrangements of flowers, leaves, or branches twisted together, often used as decorations or symbols of honor and victory.

Etymology

From Old English 'wraeth' meaning 'twisted' or 'coiled,' related to 'writhe.' Wreaths have been used since ancient Greece and Rome to crown victors and decorate temples during celebrations and ceremonies.

Kelly Says

In ancient Greece and Rome, winning athletes weren't given gold medals—they got crowns made of laurel wreaths, which is why we still call a major achievement a 'laurel' and talk about 'resting on your laurels' (wearing your wreath all the time)!
