What does FELLY mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
The rim of a wooden wheel, made up of curved segments fixed to the spokes.
A felly is not one continuous ring but several curved sections, sometimes spelled felloe instead, joined end to end around the spokes; a wheelwright shaped and fitted each one by hand before an iron tire was heated and shrunk around the outside to hold everything together. The word survives now mostly in writing about traditional crafts and old carts, since almost no working wheel is still built this way, and it is also spelled felloe by some writers.
