how to say “headline” in Hebrew

 

כּוֹתֶרֶת

 

 
The word title has a few meanings in English. Here I’ll focus on the one that you find on the cover of a book or at the top of a newspaper article… also called a headline.
 
The word is כּוֹתֶרֶת listen and repeat, whose root is the letters that form the word כֶּתֶר listen and repeat meaning crown: The words at the top of the article form a sort of crown for the content below.
 
For example:
 
הַסִּפּוּר עַל הַמַּלְכָּה תָּפַס אֶת כָּל הַכּוֹתָרוֹת לְמֶשֶׁךְ שָׁבוּעַ יָמִים.
The story about the queen took up (caught) all the headlines for a week.
