What does AGER mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
A steam chamber used in textile printing to fix dye into fabric.
The term ager comes from the textile trade, where mills built a dedicated compartment for setting freshly applied colour onto cloth through moist heat. Beyond that industrial sense, ager can also label any person or process that hastens the effects of time, a broader use that keeps the same root but drops the machinery entirely. Trade manuals and dye-house records are where the word still turns up today.
How AGER is used
A specialist industrial term from textile and dye manufacturing.
- The printed cotton moved slowly through the factory's ager.
- Steam inside the ager set the dye before the fabric was rinsed.
- Technicians checked the temperature of the ager throughout the shift.
- Without passing through an ager, the printed pattern would wash straight out.
- The mill installed a larger ager to keep pace with new printing machines.
