Information,The word bee,as used in spelling bee,is a language puzzle that has never been satisfactorily accounted for,A fairly old and widely used word,it refers to a social community gathering at which friends and neighbors join together in a single activity(sewing,quilting,barn raising,etc),usually to help one person or familyThe earliest known example in print is a,spinning bee,,in 1 769Other early occurrences are,husking bee(1 8 1 6),apple bee(1827,),and,logging bee(1,8 )Spelling bees is apparently an American termIt first appeared in print in 1875,but it seems certain that the word was used orally for several years before that,(1)Origin of the term spelling bee,Book 2 Unit 5,2/55,Those who used the word,including most early students of language,assumed that it was the same word as that used to refer to the insectThey thought that,this particular meaning had probably,been inspired by the obvious similarity between these human gatherings and the industrious,social nature of bees,But in recent years scholars have rejected this explanation,suggesting instead that this bee is a completely different word0ne possibility is that it comes from the Middle English word bene,which means“a prayer”or“a favor,(and is related to the more familiar word boon).In England,a dialectal form of this word,been or bean,referred to“voluntary help given by neighbor,and the accomplishment of a particular task”(Websters Third New International Dictionary)Bee may simply be a shortened form of been,but no one is entirely certain.,Background Information,3/55,This is the

the judges and pronouncer about,a words pronunciation,definition,part of speech,use in a sentence,and etymology(语源学).,Once having started to spell a word,the speller may start over,but,the letters or sequence of letters already spoken may not be changed,If both spellers misspell the same word,both shall continue in the competition,and the one who first misspelled the word shall be given a new word to spell,The champion is not the champion until he or she corrects the misspelling of the other speller and then correctly spells the next word on the list.,(2)Scripps Howard National Spelling
