Spelling bee
A spelling bee (also sometimes a "Spelling B"〔http://www.unesco.org/csi/YV/projects2007-08/dominica-creole/dominica-cr-spellingB.pdf〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Marlborough Primary School: 5th Annual Spelling B Competition )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Two Miles Primary wins Spelling B competition )〕) is a competition in which contestants are asked to spell a broad selection of words, usually with a varying degree of difficulty. The concept is thought to have originated in the United States,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=RTE.ie )〕 and spelling bee events, along with variants, are now also held in some other countries around the world.
The first winner of an official spelling bee was Frank Neuhauser, who won the 1st National Spelling Bee in Washington, D.C. in 1925 at age eleven.
==Etymology==
Historically the word ''bee'' has been used to describe a get-together where a specific action is being carried out, like a husking bee, a quilting bee, or an apple bee. Its etymology is unclear but possibly derived from the Old English word ''bēn'', meaning prayer.〔() bee - Wiktionary〕
