Learn the meaning of the phrase 'dyed-in-the-woad' in a fun and easy way for young kids aged 5.
Hello! Let's talk about a fun phrase: dyed-in-the-woad.
Imagine you have a shirt that you color with blue paint. Now, no matter how many times you wash it, the shirt stays blue because the color is very strong and doesn't come off. That's what 'dyed-in-the-woad' means.
It's a way to say someone really believes in something, like how the shirt really keeps its color. A long, long time ago, people used a plant called woad to make a strong blue dye, and the color stayed in the clothes forever!
So, 'dyed-in-the-woad' means something or someone that is very strong and doesn't change easily, just like a shirt colored with woad that stays blue.
