What does DENIM mean in Scrabble?
noun
A sturdy cotton twill fabric, traditionally dyed blue with indigo, commonly used to make jeans and other durable clothing.

Workers first favored denim for its durability, and the fabric later became a symbol of casual fashion around the world. Manufacturers now also treat denim to fade, stretch, or soften it for different styles of clothing.
