What does FID mean in Scrabble?
noun
nautical
A wooden pin used to separate the strands of a rope.
A fid is tapered and blunt: it opens the lay of a rope without cutting any of it, which is exactly what a spike would do instead. Riggers keep one for years and shape it to their own hand, and the word belongs entirely to that trade.
