What does EMERY mean in Scrabble?
noun
A hard, dark grey mineral, mainly a form of corundum, used in powdered or coated form as an abrasive for grinding and polishing.
Emery gets its everyday familiarity from the emery board used to file and shape fingernails, a strip coated with fine emery grit glued to a stiff backing. Beyond nail care, emery paper and emery cloth serve the same abrasive role in workshops, smoothing metal or removing rust before painting, thanks to the mineral's hardness, second only to diamond among natural abrasives.
