What does RHOMB mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
A parallelogram with four equal sides, also known as a rhombus.
A rhomb looks like a diamond shape, with two pairs of parallel sides that are all the same length but with angles that are not right angles. The term appears mainly in mathematics and crystallography as a shorter alternative to rhombus. Because the angles can vary, a rhomb can look narrow and pointed or closer to a square, depending on how it is drawn. In older geometry texts rhomb was the more common spelling, though rhombus is now used far more often in everyday teaching.
