sky
/skaɪ/
The noun refers to the vast, open expanse above us. It often carries a connotation of limitlessness, freedom, or mood (e.g., "gloomy sky"). Unlike "atmosphere," which is a scientific term for the gas surrounding Earth, "sky" is a visual and experiential term. As a verb, it describes a sudden, usually unintentional, vertical trajectory. It is most common in sports contexts, particularly golf or baseball, where hitting a ball too high is often seen as a mistake.
