What does CADDIS mean in Scrabble?
noun
A coarse woollen braid or yarn, or a small winged insect whose water-living larva builds a portable case.
The word has two unrelated lives. In the older sense it names a cheap worsted tape used for binding and trimming, and in the modern one it names the caddis fly, whose larva glues sand, grit and twigs into a tube and drags it along the stream bed. Anglers know the larva well as bait and the adult as a pattern to imitate with a fly.
How CADDIS is used
Today the insect sense dominates, usually in the compounds caddis fly and caddis larva.
