BULB ofte (gloei)lamp


[buhlb]
This funny word comes from the Ancient Greek word for onion, bolbas. In the early 1800s, the word was applied to scientific instruments of a similar shape, including the thermometer bulb and the light bulb. It still hasn't found a word to rhyme with though. What other words do bards among us avoid?
