how to say “picture frame” in Hebrew
מסגרת
The Hebrew word for picture frame is מִסְגֶּרֶת (mees-GEH-ret). Its root is ס.ג.ר (s.g.r), the concept of closing – as a picture frame is something that encloses a picture.
This particular formation of a noun based on a verb root appears in other words as well, such as מִקְלַחַת (meek-LAH-khaht) – shower, and מִקְלֶדֶת (meek-LEH-det) – keyboard.
