Do I have to memorize every word's definition when studying for a spelling bee?

Do I have to? And also language of origins of all the words in the dictionary (gee that's a lot)? I'm planning to only memorize the definitions of the words that sound the same like cue and queue. Thanks in advance!!!Do I have to memorize every word's definition when studying for a spelling bee?
It is certainly not necessary for you to memorize all of the definitions. Although, like you said, you should memorize the definitions of homophones. Languages of origin help with the letter arrangement in the words, but it is not necessary to memorize those if you are just competing at a school or regional level.
