What does GIRON mean in Scrabble?
noun
heraldry
A triangular section of a shield formed by lines drawn from the center to the edge, used as a charge or as part of a repeating pattern.
Heralds create a giron by dividing a shield with lines that meet at the center point, so each giron looks like a narrow triangular wedge. A shield covered entirely in alternating tinctures of such wedges is described as gyronny, and a single giron can also appear alone as a distinct charge. The design lets a coat of arms display several colors or metals radiating from one central point.
