What does MANTLE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A loose sleeveless cloak or wrap worn over the shoulders and other clothing.
A mantle once meant simply a loose cloak thrown over the shoulders, and English speakers gradually stretched the same word to cover almost anything that spreads over or encloses something else. Biologists call the soft body-covering of a mollusc its mantle, geologists call the thick layer of rock between the Earth's crust and its core the mantle, and a leader is sometimes said to take up the mantle of a predecessor. The garment sense survives mainly in poetry, history, and ceremonial dress, while the geological and figurative senses are far more common in everyday writing.
How MANTLE is used
Chiefly formal or literary for clothing today; the geological and figurative senses are heard far more often.
