What does GRILLE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A protective or decorative framework of metal bars or wires placed over an opening.
A grille lets air, light or sound pass through an opening while still blocking larger objects or people, which is why the front of a car has one to admit cooling air to the engine, and old bank counters and prison doors have one to allow conversation while keeping people apart. The same object is also spelled grill in some contexts, though grille is the more common spelling for the fixed metal screen itself, as opposed to grill meaning a cooking appliance. Builders fit grilles over drains, vents and windows for both protection and ventilation. The word came into English from French, where it also named a lattice screen.
How GRILLE is used
