Decolletage
When and Where Did I Find It: I found this word on my Word.A.Day email.
What it means: It means a low neckline on a woman's dress.
Level of Familiarity: The I knew I had heard the word before, but when I read the word itself I could not remember at all where I had heard it or what it meant. After I read the definition, I sort of remember hearing a sales person say that .... or maybe it was Micheal Kors on Project Runway?
Do I Want to Know This Word Well and Why? I wanted to note this word because even though I thought I knew it, I couldn't think of what it meant on my own. Also, it wasn't until I listened to how to pronounce the word using the online "sound file" that I felt I could say the word correctly on my own. When I first read the word aloud to myself I wanted to read it as a decopage (the art of gluing items on other items --usually sequins.
Do I Think Others Should Know This Word Well...if so WHO and WHY?: I don't think 625 students need to know this word. Certainly people in the fashion industry or garment industry need to know this word. Perhaps artists --those that would draw or paint women's figures might need to know this word.
