What does ARAMID mean in Scrabble?
noun
chemistrytechnical
A strong, heat-resistant synthetic fibre made from aromatic polyamide, used in body armour and ropes.
The name aramid is a blend of aromatic and amide, which describes the chemical chains the fibre is built from. Kevlar and Nomex are the best known examples, and they are spun into cloth that is far stronger than steel for its weight. Makers weave aramid into bulletproof vests, racing sails, tyre cords and firefighters' suits because it resists cuts and does not melt.
