Feather

Definisi: A feather is a specialized structure that grows from the skin of birds, made of keratin. Feathers serve various functions, including insulation, waterproofing, flight, and displays for mating or territorial defense.

Penggunaan:

• Feathers are often used in fashion (e.g., feather boas, hats) and decoration.
• The expression “feather one’s nest” refers to enriching oneself at the expense of others.

Etymologi: The word “feather” comes from the Old English term “feðer,” which can be traced back to Proto-Germanic *feþra and even further back to Proto-Indo-European *peḱ- meaning “to pluck” or “to pluck out.”

Pelafalan: /ˈfɛðər/

Sinonim:

• Plumage
• Quill (referring more specifically to the central shaft of a feather)
• Down (soft, fluffy feathers)

Antonim: There is no direct antonym for “feather,” as it is a specific biological structure. However, in a broader sense, you might consider terms related to animals without feathers or materials that are heavy or rigid (e.g., “weight” or “bulk”).
