Appellation

*Appellation*

*Meaning*: A name, title, or designation given to a person, place, or thing.
It’s basically a formal word for "what something is called."
You’ll see it a lot with wine: "appellation" = the specific region where the wine comes from.

Pronounced: _ap-uh-LAY-shun_
From Latin _appellare_ = "to call, name"

*Sentence*:
"Doctor" is the *appellation* her patients use for her, but her friends just call her Maya.

*Other examples*:
- The wine has a French *appellation*, so by law it must be made in that region.
- He rejected the *appellation* of "hero" and said he was just doing his job.
- "The City of Joy" is an *appellation* for Kolkata.

*Quick way to remember*:
Appellation = *A*nother *p*roper *l*abel. It’s the name/tag something goes by.
