You’re listening to Lingo Phoenix’s word of the day for February 24.

Today’s word is document, spelled d-o-c-u-m-e-n-t. The stress mark in this word falls on the first syllable.

Document (verb):

1. To write about something, film it, or take photographs of it, in order to record information about it

2. To support an opinion, argument etc with recorded facts

Here’s the word used in a sentence:
