Adjective<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

shaped like an arrowhead, pointed and sharp \u2014 ideally used for leaves, design elements, or that look on your face when someone says \u201cwe\u2019re out of popcorn.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n
EXPLANATION<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Sagittate<\/em> describes anything that resembles the shape of an arrowhead \u2014 sharp, precise, and ready to pierce through confusion like a well-aimed meme slice in a debate. Picture those spooky plant leaves that look like little ninja daggers, or a Hunger Games<\/em> arrow flying true while you\u2019re mid-binge-watch with pizza in hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n
ORIGIN<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

This word comes from Latin sagitta<\/em>, meaning \u201carrow.\u201d So yes \u2014 it literally means \u201carrow-shaped\u201d \u2014 perfect for describing everything from creative design to your gaze when you realize someone took your last hot slice. \u2014 costly when making snide remarks around Sagittarius, make sure all sharp objects have been hidden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n
EXAMPLE<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

The basil plant\u2019s sagittate<\/strong> leaves stood out in the garden like tiny green arrows \u2014 or like every time you try to aim for the popcorn bowl and miss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n
HOW TO USE<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Use sagittate<\/em> when you want to describe something with an arrowhead shape \u2014 whether it\u2019s leaves, logos, or when someone interrupts you enjoying a sagittate slice of pizza and claiming, \u201cThat was my<\/em> slice.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
