What does ENS mean in Scrabble?
noun
printing
Units of width in printing, each equal to half an em, in the plural.
Printers measure across the page in ems and ens rather than in millimetres, because the measure has to grow with the type: an en at one size is a different distance from an en at another. The en dash takes its name from this, and setting a table in ens instead of spaces is what keeps the columns straight when the size changes.
How ENS is used
The singular is en. Chiefly in printing and typesetting; the wider unit is the em.
- The indent is set at two ens.
- Ens and ems grow with the type and millimetres do not.
- He counted the ens across the column and found one short.
- Two ens make an em, which is where the names come from.
- The rule is measured in ens so that it holds at any size.
