What does SCOTIA mean in Scrabble?

A deep hollow moulding, shaped like a half-pipe, used at the base of a classical column.
In a column base the scotia sits between two rounded rings called tori, and its shadow gives the base a crisp, layered look. Greek and Roman builders made it a standard part of the Ionic and Attic base. The word comes from a Greek term meaning dark, because the hollow is always in shade.
