Definition
plural of dew; water droplets that form from condensation when air cools overnight on grass and plants.
Etymology
Plural of dew, from Old English dēaw, cognate with Dutch dauw and German Tau. This ancient word appears across Germanic languages, suggesting it was important enough to speakers that its name survived thousands of years of language evolution.
Kelly Says
Dew droplets aren't falling water—they form right on the surface when cool air can't hold all its moisture, which is why spiderwebs are invisible until morning dew reveals them in glistening geometry!
