What does UNTRIM mean in Scrabble?
verb
rare
To strip away the decoration or finishing touches from something, leaving it plain or disordered.
Untrim is built from the reversing prefix un- and the verb trim, which for centuries meant both to tidy and to adorn with lace, ribbon or braid. To untrim a garment was to rip off its edging, and by extension to leave a thing looking bare or untidy. The word is far rarer than its opposite, and most readers meet it only in older prose or in word lists.
