What does FACIA mean in Scrabble?
noun
British
The panel or board above a shopfront that displays the name of a business, or, in British usage, the dashboard panel of a vehicle.
A facia over a shop window traditionally carries the store's name and sometimes its opening hours, and local planning rules in Britain often regulate the size and lighting of these signs. In motoring contexts, facia is a British variant of fascia used for the instrument panel facing the driver, holding dials, switches, and vents. Both senses describe a flat panel positioned to be seen from the front, which is the common thread linking them.
