What does RIBBED mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Marked with raised lines or ridges, or built with supporting ribs.
Knitters speak of a ribbed cuff, where columns of stitches stand out and make the fabric stretch, and builders speak of a ribbed vault held up by arched stone bands. The raised pattern gives grip, strength or elasticity, so the word turns up on socks, tyres, ceilings and cardboard alike. It describes a surface you could run a finger along and feel in regular lines.
