What does MORION mean in Scrabble?
noun
historical
An open metal helmet without visor or beaver, worn by foot soldiers in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries; also, a dark brown-to-black variety of quartz.
The military morion had a raised comb along the top and a brim curving up to a point at front and back, a shape recognisable in paintings of European soldiers of the period. The unrelated mineral sense of morion names smoky quartz so dark it looks almost black, a colour that suggested the same word to mineralogists. Both uses are specialised, one belonging to the history of arms and armour and the other to gemmology.
How MORION is used
Met mainly in descriptions of historical armour and, separately, in mineralogy for a dark quartz.
