What does FACET mean in Scrabble?
noun
One of the flat, polished surfaces cut into a gemstone, or, more broadly, a distinct aspect or side of something.
Jewelers cut a series of facets into a diamond or other gem at precise angles so that light entering the stone reflects and refracts, producing brilliance and sparkle. The same word extended naturally into everyday language for describing one part of a larger, more complex whole, such as a facet of someone's personality or a facet of a difficult problem. A well-cut gem may have dozens of facets, each contributing to the overall sparkle.
