#WIPSnips "root" from A Prayer for the Pirate Queen 🏴‍☠️💜⚓️ currently in third draft revisions (I didn't go in the direction in the end, but tell me, Northern Hemisphere English speakers, is root a euphemism for you too??)

Within a few minutes, the tree cover lightened. The sea was ahead in glimpses and whispers, the glitter of deep blue-green waves the most welcome sight Kallista had seen this side of sunrise. She crested the next hillock, then ran down, smiling even as she stumbled on a tree root, nearly crashing down on all four limbs. Scrambling to her feet, her right ankle screamed out for attention. She had none to give it. The Paxos—she was right there!—and behind her came a veritable dreadnought of a battleship coming full speed into the harbour of Psistos.

No, "root" is not used in the NZ slang way in the US, nor in Canada 😂 and while I'm not in the UK nor British, it wasn't used in the UK when I lived there, either
