What does FRIZ mean in Scrabble?
verb
To curl hair into tight, uneven ridges — an older spelling of frizz.
Friz is the earlier form of a word now usually written with two zs, and dictionaries still enter it as a variant of frizz rather than as a word of its own with a different job. It behaves as both a verb and a noun for the curled result — a friz of hair — but not as a plain adjective in front of a noun: a head gone friz is really the noun standing after a verb, the way gone red or gone flat work, and not a descriptive word like curly.
How FRIZ is used
Chiefly a verb: to friz the hair. The related noun names the curled result; the modern spelling frizz is commoner for both.
- The damp will friz her hair within the hour.
- She used the tongs to friz a stray curl into place.
- Steam from the kettle began to friz the ends of his hair.
- A hairdresser of that period would friz rather than perm.
