wound
/wuːnd/noun
Damage to the body, usually on the outside, such as a cut, stab, or tear.
Example sentences
- “The nurse cleaned the wound and covered it with a bandage.”
- “The soldier's wound healed slowly over several months.”
Pronounced 'woond'. Spelled identically to the past tense of 'wind', which rhymes with 'sound', a classic reading trap.
