vocabulary简明 The word zigzag describes the shape of a line. A line drawn in a zigzag shape makes a lot of short, sharp turns. The letter Z is a zigzag itself, and a thunderbolt is also often represented as a zigzag.
vocabulary扩展 The first turn a zigzag line makes is called a zig, and the second is called the zag. Zigzag can also be a verb.
