What does TASSEL mean in Scrabble?
noun
A hanging ornament made of a bunch of threads or cords bound at one end, attached to clothing, curtains, cushions or similar items for decoration.
A tassel finishes off an edge or corner with a soft, moving tuft rather than a hard point, which is why they appear on graduation caps, curtain ties, cushions and formal robes alike. The word also names the tufted flower head at the top of a maize plant, and as a verb, to tassel describes a plant putting out that same feathery head. Both senses share the same image of a loose, hanging tuft.
