What does EYELET mean in Scrabble?
noun
A small hole, often rimmed with metal, through which a lace, cord or hook is passed.
Shoes, tents, sails and belts all rely on the eyelet, which stops the material from tearing where a cord pulls against it. The word came from Old French oillet, a little eye, and the same idea lives on in the shape of the hole. Needleworkers also use it for a decorative small hole bordered with stitches, as in broderie anglaise.
