What does ALPACA mean?
ALPACA (noun): a South American animal related to the llama, raised for its soft fleece. Example: “The farm sold scarves knitted from soft alpaca wool.”
Similar: llama relative, camelid, fleece animal.
Did you know? Alpaca fiber is prized because it is warm, lightweight, and naturally softer than many kinds of sheep's wool.
Using ALPACA in a sentence
ALPACA does double duty as an animal and a material. As the animal it takes a normal plural, a herd of alpacas, but as the fabric it's uncountable: 'a coat made of alpaca'. On labels, 'baby alpaca' refers to the finest grade of fiber, not the age of the animal. Don't confuse it with its bigger cousin: llamas are kept mainly as pack animals, while alpacas are bred for their fleece. The name reached English through Spanish from Aymara, a language of the Andes, and it's stressed on the middle syllable, al-PAK-uh.
How ALPACA fits the puzzle
ALPACA circles P and A, which give APPRECIATED its second P and one of its A's.
Its circled letters feed the caption answer, MUCH APPRECIATED.
