"Rhinestones" Natural Recordings by Native Speakers
Small, shiny stones, typically mother of pearl or glass, that are set into a base material, often used to decorate clothing, accessories, or other objects, especially on costumes or fancy dresses. They can be made to resemble actual gemstones and are often used to add a touch of luxury or glamour to an outfit, but are usually less valuable than their intact, hand-cut counterparts.
Rhinectomy is a medical term that refers to the surgical removal of the nose. This can be performed for a variety of reasons, including trauma, infection, skin cancer, or congenital abnormalities.
The term "rhinencephalic" refers to an individual who is governed more by emotional and instinctual drives rather than by reason and intellect. The prefix "rhine-" comes from the Greek word "rhizō," meaning "to flow," and is often associated with the word "rhinologist," a specialist in the study of the nose and nasal passages.
