What does AXITE mean in Scrabble?
noun
historicalchemistry
An explosive substance formerly used for blasting.
Axite is a specialised term for a manufactured explosive, one of many named blasting compounds developed and patented in the explosives industry over the past two centuries. Such explosives were used mainly in mining and quarrying to break rock, and each manufacturer often gave its own product a distinct trade name such as axite. The word is now met almost exclusively in older technical glossaries, patent records and word-game references rather than in current industrial use. Because so many similarly named explosives existed side by side, detailed records of any one formula are hard to find outside specialist archives.
