helmet
Meaning
A helmet is a protective headgear designed to absorb impact and safeguard the skull from injuries during activities such as cycling, construction work, or sports.
💡 A common mistake is to confuse "helmet" with "hat," as helmets are specifically designed for protection, while hats are primarily for fashion or warmth.
