What does AMIANTUSES mean in Scrabble?
noun
Specimens of a fine, silky variety of asbestos, in the plural.
The name comes from a Greek word meaning undefiled, because the mineral was thought to be cleaned by fire rather than harmed by it: cloth woven from it was thrown into the flames to burn the dirt away and came out whole. The spelling amianthus is equally correct, so amiantuses and amianthuses both appear in mineral catalogues.
