What does CREST mean in Scrabble?
noun
The highest point of something, such as a wave, hill, or ridge, or a tuft of feathers, fur, or fleshy skin on top of an animal's head.
A surfer waits for a wave to reach its crest before riding it down the steepening face, and hikers speak of reaching the crest of a hill once the ground finally begins to slope downward again. Many birds, such as the cockatoo, raise a crest of feathers on their heads to signal alarm or attract a mate, and the same word describes the fleshy comb on a rooster. In heraldry, a crest is a separate emblem placed above the shield on a coat of arms, originally worn on top of a knight's helmet to help identify him in battle.
How CREST is used
Widely used for the top of a wave, hill, or ridge, for a tuft on an animal's head, and for a heraldic emblem.
