What does SERGE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A strong, durable twill-weave fabric, usually of wool, with a diagonal ridge visible on both sides.
Serge is woven so that the diagonal rib runs through the whole cloth, which makes it resist creasing and wear better than a plain weave. Tailors have long favoured it for suits, uniforms and coats because it holds its shape under daily use. The fabric can be made from wool alone or blended with cotton or silk, and heavier grades are still used for military and school uniforms.
How SERGE is used
A countable and uncountable noun used mainly in clothing and textile contexts.
- The tailor cut the trousers from a bolt of navy serge.
