What does INGOT mean in Scrabble?
noun
A solid block of cast metal, typically oblong or brick-shaped, produced for convenient storage, transport, or further processing.
Molten metal such as gold, silver, or steel is poured into a mold to cool and solidify into an ingot, a shape chosen because it stacks easily, resists surface damage, and can be melted down again when needed. Central banks and private investors hold gold in ingot form as a store of value, while industrial ingots of steel or aluminum are later rolled, forged, or machined into finished products. The uniform shape also makes an ingot easy to weigh, mark, and track.
How INGOT is used
Common in both everyday references to precious metal bars and in industrial or manufacturing contexts.
- The vault contained rows of gleaming gold ingots.
- Workers poured molten steel into molds to form ingots.
- Each ingot was stamped with its weight and purity.
- The smuggler hid several silver ingots inside the crate.
- Factories melt down scrap aluminum and recast it into ingots.
