Withenay's Wednesday Word

Withenay’s Wednesday Word: cricket

Welcome to Withenay’s Wednesday Word: a wandering, wondering dip into the dictionary. The topics are always varied and rarely predictable!

For the summer holidays, I have chosen a series of summery words, illustrated solely by pictures.

cricket (noun)
a jumping insect of the family Gryllidae, related to the grasshopper and locust, the male of which makes a chirping sound by rubbing its forewings together
from Old French criquet
