What does FRITT mean in Scrabble?
noun
technicalchemistry
A partly fused mixture of sand and other minerals, prepared as a raw material for making glass or ceramic glaze, also spelled frit; as a verb, to fuse such materials in this way.
Glassmakers heat the ingredients of fritt just enough to fuse them into a rough, glassy lump without fully melting them, a step that makes the final melting process more even and predictable. Potters use a similar fritt to prepare stable, often lead-free glazes, since pre-fusing certain chemicals in advance reduces the risk of toxic ingredients leaching from the finished glaze. The double-t spelling fritt appears alongside the more common frit in older technical writing and in some specialized ceramics literature. Workshops that fritt their own materials, rather than buying a ready-made glaze, gain more control over the exact color and texture of the finished piece.
