Word of the Week - 59

RUBBLE

I came across this week's word while reading an article on the BBC website about the terrible earthquake which devastated Haiti last week. It is a noun and it is used to refer to the bits of broken stone and bricks which are left after a building has fallen down or been destroyed.

The fire reduced the house to rubble.

A woman was found alive under the rubble of the supermarket.
