What does MOUTON mean in Scrabble?
noun
Sheepskin that has been sheared, dyed, and processed to resemble a more expensive fur such as beaver or seal.
Mouton is made by treating ordinary sheepskin so its wool lies flat and takes on the glossy, dense look of a costlier pelt. The process, developed to make fur coats more affordable, straightens and flattens the natural curl of the wool through chemical treatment and pressing. The word comes directly from the French for sheep, reflecting the animal the fur is taken from, and mouton should not be confused with mutton, the meat of the same animal. Coat makers and furriers still use mouton for linings, collars, and full garments.
How MOUTON is used
Used mainly in the fur and garment trades to describe processed sheepskin, distinct from the everyday word for sheep meat.
