What does RAYON mean in Scrabble?
noun
A synthetic textile fiber made from regenerated cellulose, often used to imitate the feel of silk, cotton, or wool.
Rayon was developed in the late nineteenth century as one of the first manufactured fibers, originally marketed as artificial silk because of its smooth, glossy texture. Manufacturers make rayon by dissolving wood pulp or other cellulose sources into a thick liquid, then forcing it through tiny holes to form fine threads. Because rayon absorbs dye easily and drapes well, clothing makers still favor it for blouses, linings, and other garments that need a soft, flowing feel.
