What does SHEET mean in Scrabble?
noun
A large, thin, flat piece of material such as cloth, paper, metal, or glass.
A sheet of cloth covers a mattress or wraps a body, while a sheet of paper carries writing or print and a sheet of metal or glass forms a broad, even surface for construction or manufacturing. The common thread across these uses is a shape that is wide and flat but very thin compared to its length and width. Sailors use the word differently, calling the rope that controls a sail's angle a sheet, a sense that has nothing to do with cloth or paper.
How SHEET is used
Extremely common noun, used for bedding, paper, and thin flat materials generally, plus a distinct nautical sense for a sail rope.
- She smoothed the sheet over the freshly made bed.
- He tore a sheet of paper from his notebook.
- Workers bent a sheet of metal into shape.
- A thin sheet of ice covered the pond overnight.
- The sailor pulled hard on the sheet to trim the sail.
