Might is a short, single-syllable word used as an auxiliary verb to express possibility or permission, and as a simple noun meaning power or strength. In usage, it often signals conditional or speculative meaning, as in could/may, or refers to strength or capability in phrases like ‘the might of the army.’ It’s a compact, versatile term with a crisp, plosive onset and a long, mid back vowel in many contexts.
