What does SLEEK mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Smooth, glossy and neat in appearance, especially of hair, fur or feathers that lie flat and shine.
Sleek describes a surface that has been groomed, or that naturally grows, so smooth that light runs evenly along it, as with a cat's glossy coat or a swimmer's wet hair pressed flat against the head. The word extends easily from animals and people to shapes and machines, where it praises a smooth, streamlined design with no rough or bulky parts. A sleek appearance often carries a sense of care, health or expensive styling rather than accident.
How SLEEK is used
Common in everyday descriptive English, used for hair, fur and animals, and by extension for smoothly designed objects such as cars or phones.
