How Do You Spell GAPPED?

Pronunciation: [ɡˈapt] (IPA)

The word "gapped" is spelled with a double p to indicate that the preceding vowel is short. The first "p" represents the voiceless bilabial plosive /p/, which is pronounced by briefly pressing the lips together and then releasing them, creating a burst of air. The second "p" is simply used to indicate the short "a" sound in the middle of the word, pronounced as the open central unrounded vowel /æ/. Together, these sounds create the word "gapped", which means to have an opening or a space between two things.

GAPPED Meaning and Definition

For instance, a gapped knowledge refers to a person's incomplete understanding or limited information on a particular subject.

Etymology of GAPPED

The word "gapped" is derived from the base word "gap". The etymology of "gap" can be traced back to the Old Norse word "gapi" meaning "an open mouth" or "an open space". It later entered Old English as "geap", referring to an opening or breach in something. Over time, it evolved into the modern English word "gap", which signifies a space, hole, or break in continuity. "Gapped" is the past participle form of "gap", indicating that something has been left with a gap or missing part.
