An amulet is a small object you wear — often a charm on a chain, or a little thing in a pouch — because you believe it keeps off bad luck, illness, or harm. It is jewellery with a job, not only something pretty. Different places have different ones: a jade pendant, a metal charm, a written prayer folded small. If you wear a necklace only because it looks nice, that is not an amulet. People also use the word a little loosely for any “lucky charm.” It is an old, slightly story-book word; in everyday Taiwan English, students more often say lucky charm unless they mean a traditional protective object.
組成From Middle French amulette, from Latin amuletum. The English word does not split into living pieces.
