What does GABLE mean in Scrabble?
noun
The triangular upper section of a wall formed where two sloping roof planes meet, often found at the end of a pitched-roof building.
A gable gives a roof its distinctive triangular outline at the end wall, and builders often use the space inside it for a small attic window or decorative vent. Its shape depends directly on the roof pitch, a steep roof producing a tall, narrow point and a shallow roof producing a low, wide one. Many building styles are named partly for how they treat this feature, such as the stepped form seen on old Dutch townhouses or the ornamented version common on Victorian houses.
How GABLE is used
