Like the Guy Who Stands Outside the Portcullis

 Palisade (like palace-aid)


            The dictionary defines palisade as a wall of stakes, usually pointed, used for defense. Take note, fellow writer, how this word both sounds like the words palace and aid, (as shown in the pronunciation guide above) and how it is involved with defense. The readers who enjoy fantasy or Middle Age era novels can tell you that while the castle's defense might include drawbridges, nothing is a replacement for the sentry guard, who aids the palace.

Palace aid

Palisade


            Aren't words wonderful?
