What does GUTTA mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
A small, cone-shaped ornament resembling a drop, forming part of a row set beneath the triglyphs of a classical Doric entablature.
In classical architecture, a gutta decorates the underside of the horizontal band running above the columns of a Doric temple, and several guttae are usually carved together in a short row. The Latin root of the word simply means drop, since each ornament looks like a droplet frozen in stone. In an unrelated but recorded sense, gutta can also refer to a natural latex or rubbery sap, closer to the raw material behind gutta-percha.
