What does VOLUTE mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
A spiral scroll shape, especially the curled ornament on the top of an Ionic column, or a spiral sea snail shell.
Architects know the volute as the curl that sits on each side of an Ionic capital, and it is the quickest way to tell that order from the plainer Doric. The same word names a family of sea snails with heavy, colourful spiral shells that collectors prize. In engineering a volute is the snail-shaped casing around a pump or a turbine.
