Chequer for Dummies

Alright, so let's talk about the word "chequer." It's not a word that we use a lot in everyday conversation, but it's still good to know what it means. So, "chequer" actually has a couple of different meanings, but they're all related to the idea of marking or dividing something into different sections.

One way we use the word "chequer" is to describe a pattern or design that looks like a checkerboard, you know, like the game of checkers? It's like a pattern where there are alternating squares of two different colors. So, for example, a floor might be "chequered" if it has a pattern of black and white squares.

Another way we use the word "chequer" is to talk about dividing something into different parts or sections. You might think of a chessboard as being "chequered" because it's divided into squares where the chess pieces are placed.

So, when we talk about "chequer," we're talking about patterns or divisions, kind of like when you take a big pizza and cut it into slices, or when you play a game of checkers on a board with black and red squares.

Does that make sense? So, the word "chequer" is all about patterns and divisions, like the squares on a checkerboard or the different sections of a pizza. It's a way of describing something that's marked or divided in a particular way.
