What does FINIAL mean in Scrabble?
noun
A decorative ornament at the top of a roof, gable, post or piece of furniture.
A finial is the small finishing feature set at the very peak of something. It may be a stone spike on a church pinnacle, a carved acorn on a bedpost or a metal knob at the end of a curtain rod. The word comes from the Latin for end, the same root as final and finish, because the ornament is the last element to complete a structure.
