What does FRAISE mean in Scrabble?
noun
historical
A defensive barrier of pointed stakes set out at a slant from a rampart, or a stiff pleated collar worn around the neck in the sixteenth century.
The fortification sense came first: a fraise bristled outward from the wall so that attackers could not climb up easily. The ruff sense belongs to Tudor and Elizabethan dress, when wealthy people wore wide, starched neck frills. The word is French, where it also means a strawberry, which helps explain how the ruffled shape was named after the fruit.
