What does ANSATE mean in Scrabble?
adjective
rare
Having a handle, or shaped like a handle or loop.
The word is best known from the ansate cross, another name for the ankh, the ancient Egyptian symbol carved and painted on temple walls, tomb paintings and amulets as a sign of life. Beyond that one famous example, botanists and zoologists occasionally apply ansate to a leaf, shell or structure with the same distinctive looped outline, though such uses are rare and mostly confined to older scientific illustration. Its root comes directly from the Latin ansa, and the same root gives English the word ansa itself for a looped structure in anatomy.
