Definition
Makes small holes in something by piercing it, or breaks the surface with a sharp point.
Etymology
From Latin 'punctura,' past participle of 'pungere' meaning to prick or pierce. The word entered English in the 14th century with both literal and metaphorical meanings.
Kelly Says
A bicycle tire puncture is one of the most common everyday experiences that uses this Latin root—but so does 'punctuation,' which literally 'punctures' sentences with pauses! The Romans really loved verbs about poking and pricking.
