What does FELTY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
rare
Resembling felt in texture — thick, matted and soft.
Felty describes a surface that has taken on the compressed, tangled look of felt without actually being made of it, whether that is an old woollen jumper gone matted in the wash or the fine hairs on certain leaves and stems. Botanists reach for it fairly often for plants whose leaves are covered in a dense mat of short hairs, since felty is more exact than simply calling them fuzzy.
