W or w /dubˈl-ū/

1. The twenty-third letter in the modern English alphabet, a 5c addition to the Roman alphabet, a doubled u or v used to express the voiced consonantal sound heard eg in English way, weak, warrant
2. Anything shaped like the letter W

—W was regularly used in written English from the 13c, superseding the letter wyn (qv). In modern English w is found as a consonant and also as the second component in certain vowel and diphthong digraphs, ie those in law, few, now. The unvoiced form of the consonant is written wh (corresponding to OE hw), as in what, when, but most English people substitute the voiced sound in pronouncing words spelt wh, and Scottish speakers insist upon sounding hw. W is no longer pronounced in write, two, etc, or in whole (which represents a dialectal variation of OE hāl). OE cw has become qu, as in queen, from OE cwēn
