Microwave

/ˈmaɪkroweɪv/ noun

Definition

A kitchen machine that heats up food very quickly using invisible waves.

Etymology

Named for the tiny 'micro' waves it uses to heat food - they're so small we can't see them!

Kelly Says

A microwave is like a magic heating box! You put your leftover pizza in, press some buttons, and in just a minute it's warm and ready to eat again.
