What does DEWOOL mean in Scrabble?
verb
technical
To strip the wool from a sheepskin or from a living sheep.
The word dewool is built from the prefix de-, meaning removal, and wool. It belongs to the vocabulary of the sheep farm and the tannery, where a hide has to be cleared of its fleece before the leather can be worked. Outside those trades it is almost never met, which is why it is more at home in word lists than in conversation.
