How Do You Spell COBBLED?

Pronunciation: [kˈɒbə͡ld] (IPA)

The word "cobbled" is spelled with two "b's" because it is a double consonant sound. The IPA phonetic transcription for "cobbled" is /ˈkɒb.əld/. The first syllable, "cob," is pronounced with the short "o" sound, while the second syllable, "-bled," is pronounced with the long "e" sound. The double "b" indicates that the "b" sound should be emphasized, making the word sound like "cob-bled."

COBBLED Meaning and Definition

  1. Cobbled is an adjective that refers to something that is made or constructed by arranging or fitting together various irregularly shaped stones or pebbles. It primarily describes a type of paving or surface on a road, street, or pathway where small stones are laid to form a firm and uneven surface.

    The term "cobbled" is commonly used to describe a traditional form of pavement made from cobblestones, which are small, rounded stones of various sizes. These cobblestones are typically obtained from riverbeds or quarries and are arranged and carefully laid by skilled workers to create a durable and resilient surface.

    Cobbled surfaces are often characterized by their rugged and uneven nature, as they typically consist of stones of different shapes, sizes, and textures, forming a pattern that can be irregular and varied. The unevenness of cobbled surfaces can provide aesthetic appeal, creating a charming and nostalgic ambiance, particularly in historic or old town settings.

    The term "cobbled" is not restricted to just road surfaces; it can also be used to describe any constructed area or object made using a similar process or materials, such as a cobbled courtyard or a cobbled wall. Additionally, "cobbled" can be used figuratively to describe something that appears rough, patchy, or hastily put together.
