What does RELINE mean in Scrabble?
verb
technical
To fit something with a new lining, replacing the one that has worn out.
To reline a coat means fitting new fabric inside it once the original lining has torn or worn thin, and the same word covers many other repairs where an inner layer wears out faster than the outer shell. Garages reline brake shoes and clutches when the friction material has worn down, restorers reline old paintings by attaching a fresh backing canvas to a fragile original, and furnaces are relined with new firebrick when the interior surface breaks down under heat. In every case the outer object survives and only the inner surface is replaced. The word is used almost entirely in this practical, repair-related sense.
How RELINE is used
A practical term used in trades such as tailoring, car repair, art restoration and construction rather than in general conversation.
