What does DAMASK mean in Scrabble?
noun
A rich, reversible fabric of silk, linen, cotton or wool with a pattern woven into the cloth itself.
Damask takes its name from the city of Damascus, which was long famous for such patterned textiles. The design appears through contrast between glossy and matte threads rather than through printing or embroidery, so it shows on both sides of the cloth. Damask is typical for tablecloths, napkins, curtains and upholstery, and the word also names a deep pink colour and the damask rose.
