What does STRIPE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A long, narrow band of colour or texture that differs from the surface on either side of it.
A stripe is easiest to picture on a zebra, a flag or a shirt, where several of them repeat side by side. Soldiers and police wear stripes on a sleeve to show their rank, so the word also stands for status earned over time. The word probably came into English from Dutch or Low German, and in the phrase of every stripe it has come to mean kind or sort.
How STRIPE is used
Used for patterns on animals, cloth and flags, for rank badges, and figuratively for a type of person.
- A single white stripe ran down the middle of the road.
- The tabby cat had a dark stripe along its back.
- He sewed a second stripe onto his sleeve after the promotion.
- Politicians of every stripe attended the opening.
