Cittern (noun) – a guitar with a pear-shaped body, from the 16th century (the word originates in Middle English “gitern”, which makes sense because it represents a Medieval stringed instrument)
Word in a Sentence: Sting’s next album should feature a cittern instead of a lute.
Your turn! Give me something musical…

I'm thinkin' here of "sittin' with my cittern, just a pickin" -done to the melody of that old country-western song "Just a swingin'"!
I love it, Jeni!
