What does SWEPT mean in Scrabble?
adjective
technical
Having a backward-sloping or angled shape, especially describing wings, roofs, or hairstyles that curve away from a straight line.
Aircraft designers use swept to describe wings angled backward from the fuselage, a shape that reduces drag at high speed. Architects apply the same word to a swept roofline that slopes smoothly rather than meeting at a sharp corner. Hairstylists likewise describe a swept fringe or a swept-back style, where hair is combed away from the face in one smooth direction. In each of these cases, swept describes the finished angled shape rather than the act of cleaning tied to the plain verb sweep.
How SWEPT is used
