What does SIGNET mean in Scrabble?
noun
A small seal, often set into a ring, used to stamp an official mark on wax or paper.
A signet carries an engraved design, often a family crest or initials, that leaves a distinctive impression when pressed into hot wax. Rulers and officials once used a signet to authenticate letters and orders instead of, or alongside, a written signature. The design engraved on a signet is usually cut in reverse, so it reads correctly once it is stamped onto a surface. Today a signet ring survives mainly as a piece of jewelry, though its shape still recalls the seal's original purpose.
