What does MOSAIC mean in Scrabble?
noun
A picture or pattern made by setting small pieces of stone, glass or tile side by side in a surface.
Mosaic work goes back to ancient Greece and Rome, where floors and walls were covered with tiny coloured cubes called tesserae. The word also describes anything built up from many distinct parts, such as a mosaic of cultures in one city. In biology a mosaic is an organism whose cells are not all genetically alike, and as a verb the word means to decorate a surface in this way.
