What does CREEL mean in Scrabble?
noun
A wicker basket, especially one used by anglers to carry fish, or a frame holding bobbins of yarn in a textile mill.
An angler carries a creel slung over one shoulder, dropping each catch inside as the fishing trip continues, and older creels were traditionally woven from willow to let water drain away from the fish. The same word, creel, also names a very different object in a textile mill, a rack or frame that holds dozens of bobbins so their threads can feed smoothly into a weaving or spinning machine. Despite the very different settings, both a fishing creel and a mill creel describe something built to hold many separate items in an organized way.
How CREEL is used
Used mainly among anglers for a fishing basket, and separately as a technical term in textile manufacturing.
- He slung the creel over his shoulder before wading into the river.
