What does VOILE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A light, semi-transparent fabric of cotton, wool, or silk, used for clothing, curtains, and veils.
Voile is woven loosely enough to let light pass through while still holding its shape, which makes it popular for summer dresses, blouses, and sheer curtains that soften a room without blocking daylight entirely. The name comes from the French word for veil, reflecting its traditional use for delicate coverings. Compared with heavier cottons, voile drapes softly and feels light against the skin, qualities that keep it in demand for warm-weather clothing.

Common term in sewing and interior design for lightweight, see-through fabric.
