What does REVET mean in Scrabble?
verb
technical
To face or line a wall, bank, or slope with stone, concrete, or another protective material to strengthen or protect it.
Revet is used mainly in engineering and construction to describe covering an earthwork, riverbank, or fortification wall with a hard facing that resists erosion or collapse. Engineers revet a slope with materials such as stone, brick, or concrete panels to hold soil in place and withstand water flow or pressure. The related noun revetment names the protective facing itself.
