When explaining a word, you cannot use any part of the word on the card, nor a derivative of it

For example, you cannot explain the word “handbag” by saying “a small bag women usually carry”, or the word “balloon” by saying “a ball filled with air” since balloon and ball are derived from the same word. You could, however, say “a colourful object filled with air”.
