noun
“Oops, the video you wanted took a vacation. Here’s a random one that didn’t!”
Meaning of "scepter" ("cetro"), detailed definition, and a short video lesson below.
A scepter is a special, decorated stick that a king or queen holds during important events, like coronations or big ceremonies. It is usually made of shiny metal and covered with jewels. The scepter does not have magic powers, but it is a symbol that the ruler has power and authority, kind of like a royal badge or trophy that shows, “I’m the one in charge.”
When the queen used her scepter as a pointer during a math lesson, even the numbers suddenly looked more obedient.
At the royal costume party, I wore a bathrobe and carried a plunger as my “scepter,” and everyone still bowed.
The queen’s scepter had so many jewels that her wrist needed a vacation after every ceremony.
A gust of wind almost blew the scepter away, but the queen grabbed it and yelled, “Not today, weather!”
Real royal scepters can be hundreds of years old and covered in real jewels—imagine holding a super old, super expensive sparkly stick and trying not to sneeze on it.
A tired street performer found a lost scepter in a velvet box. He lifted the scepter high; children gasped as the queen approached, took the scepter with a smile, and raised it over the crowd. The scepter flashed in the sun. People cheered; the performer bowed, relieved to see the scepter returned.
