A pom-pom – also spelled pom-pon, pompom or pompon – is a loose, fluffy, decorative ball or tuft of fibrous material. Pom-poms may come in many colors, sizes, and varieties and are made from a wide array of materials, including wool, cotton, paper, plastic, and occasionally feathers. Pom-poms are shaken by cheerleaders, pom or dance teams, and sports fans during spectator sports. Small decorative pom-poms may be attached to clothing; these are sometimes called toories or bobbles. ''Pom-pom'' is derived from the French word ''pompon'', which refers to a small decorative ball made of fabric or feathers. ==Spelling== *''Webster's Third New International Dictionary'' (1961) gives the spelling as "pompon." *The ''New Oxford American Dictionary'' (third edition, 2010) gives the spelling as "pom-pom." *The ''American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language'' (5th edition, 2011) gives the spelling as "pompom" or "pompon." *''Webster's New World College Dictionary'' (fourth edition) gives the spelling as "pompom." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pom-pom」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
