How do you pronounce it?
/staɾbuɾst/
Did you know?
- Spanish speakers may naturally add a subtle vowel sound to Starburst because the sequence of consonants at the end of the word does not exist in Spanish phonetics.
- While 'starburst' can describe a visual explosion, the Spanish term estallido is more frequently associated with physical-force explosions or sudden outbursts of emotion. Using it to describe a pattern in a design might sound much more dramatic and violent than the English 'starburst'.
- While the candy is Starburst, a poet or astronomer would use the term fulgor estelar to describe the actual light of a bursting star.
