What does ETWEE mean in Scrabble?
noun
archaichistorical
A small ornamental case used to hold trinkets or needlework tools, such as scissors, tweezers, and thread; a variant spelling of etui.
Fashionable men and women once carried an etwee on a chain or in a pocket, filling it with tiny useful items like a thimble, a small knife, or a set of tweezers. Craftsmen decorated an etwee with fine metalwork, enamel, or carved ivory, turning a practical container into a small piece of jewelry. Today the word survives mainly in descriptions of antique collections and historical costume, where the object itself is now called more often by its French-derived spelling, etui.
