What does INLAID mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Decorated with pieces of wood, metal, ivory, or other material set into the surface to form a pattern.
Furniture, boxes, and floors called inlaid have had thin fragments of a contrasting substance fitted flush within shallow grooves cut in the base, so the design lies level rather than sitting on top. The technique lets a plain wooden table show a motif in mother-of-pearl, or lets a dark cabinet display a paler timber set against a darker one, and inlaid craftsmanship has been prized for centuries as a mark of skill. The word also works as the past tense of the verb inlay, yet when describing a finished object, inlaid stands simply as an adjective for that ornamented exterior.
