What does LISTEL mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
A narrow flat band or fillet, especially one separating two mouldings or curved surfaces on a column or cornice.
A listel is a small, plain strip used in classical architecture to mark a clean division between two more elaborate mouldings. Because it carries no carved detail of its own, the listel gives the eye a place to rest between decorated surfaces on a column base or cornice. The same word is also used more loosely for a similar narrow band in furniture or picture framing.
