What does SENDAL mean in Scrabble?
noun
historical
A thin, fine silk fabric used in medieval times for banners, robes, and ceremonial clothing.
Sendal was prized in the Middle Ages for being light yet strong enough to hold dye well, which made it popular for flags and church vestments. Chroniclers describing royal processions or tournaments often mention sendal alongside heavier fabrics like velvet and brocade. The material fell out of common use as trade brought other silks to Europe, so today sendal appears mainly in historical and literary descriptions. Because it names a specific weave rather than any silk in general, sendal signals a particular medieval luxury to readers familiar with the term.
