Spell Bee Word: Dedicate


Basic Details

Word: Dedicate

Part of Speech: Verb

Meaning: To give your time and effort fully to something. You can also dedicate a song or a book to someone to honour them.

Synonyms: devote, commit, give

How to Spell Dedicate

Syllables: ded - i - cate

Tricky part: Watch the middle: ded-i-cate takes an i, not an e. There is one d at the start and one in the middle, never two together.

Watch out for: dedecate, deddicate, dedicat

Memory tip: Ded-i-cate ends in cate, like locate and educate. Put a single i between ded and cate.

Usage Examples

Example 1: Our coach dedicates every Saturday to football practice.

Example 2: The singer dedicated her song to her grandmother.

Example 3: I want to dedicate my first book to my parents.

Writers often print a short message at the front of a book to dedicate it to someone they love. That page is called the dedication.
