What does SATARA mean in Scrabble?
noun
historical
A heavy, glossy woolen cloth woven with a ribbed pattern.
Satara entered English from Hindi as a trade name for a durable wool textile prized for its slight sheen and a horizontal rib running across the surface. Tailors reached for satara when cutting coats, cloaks, and other outerwear meant to keep its shape and outlast plain broadcloth. The word has nothing to do with the Indian city of the same name, despite both tracing back to the same region of the subcontinent. Today satara survives mainly in older trade catalogs and historical accounts of the textile trade rather than in modern clothing descriptions.
