What does RAMI mean in Scrabble?
noun
botany
A strong plant fibre obtained from an Asian nettle plant, also spelled ramie, and used to make cloth and cord.
Rami comes from the stems of a tall nettle-family plant grown across South and East Asia, and the fibre is prized for being strong, glossy and resistant to rotting in water. Once separated from the stem and cleaned, it can be spun into thread for fabric or twisted into rope, and rami is also the plural form used in anatomy for the branches of a nerve or bone.
How RAMI is used
Chiefly a textile and botanical term, and separately a technical term in anatomy.
- The fabric was woven from rami rather than cotton, giving it a slight sheen.
- Rami fibre resists rot better than many other plant fibres.
- The textbook illustrated the rami branching from the main nerve.
- Farmers stripped the stalks by hand to extract the rami fibre.
- Rope makers once twisted rami into strong, lightweight cord.
