What does UNSET mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Not yet fixed in place, mounted, or solidified.
Jewelers use unset to describe a loose gemstone that has not yet been mounted into a ring, pendant, or other piece of jewelry, so it can still be sold, cut, or reset in a different design. Cooks apply the same word to a dessert or gelatin that has not yet firmed up, describing a jelly or custard as unset while it still sits soft in the mold. Bone specialists occasionally use it too, calling a fracture unset when the broken pieces have not been aligned and allowed to heal. In every case, unset marks a stage before something settles permanently into its final form or position.
How UNSET is used
Used in jewelry, cooking, and medicine to describe something still loose, soft, or unaligned.
