What Children Don in Halloween…

I am currently (trying) to finish reading “The Talisman” by Stepehen King so I can start reading the other King book. This is the one I bought in Burnaby – Lisey’s Story.

While reading it last night I got this word – Don.

Instinctively, from childhood or from wherever, I know that ‘Don’ is a word used to denote someone with riches and power. And I know too that it is a spanish term… “a Spanish gentleman or nobleman ”

But the way Stpehen King used it in his book goes like… “..it’s like what children don in Halloween.” or something like that.

I did a definition search now (now that I have internet connection) and here’s what Mr. King meant by “Don”.

wear: put clothing on one’s body; “What should I wear today?”; “He put on his best suit for the wedding”; “The princess donned a long blue dress”; “The queen assumed the stately robes”; “He got into his jeans”

There you go, another word of the day just for you. Keep building that vocabulary ok?

God bless!
