The double "L" at the end of the word indicates that the past tense of the verb "teasel" is pronounced with a longer "L" sound, rather than the short "el" sound.

TEASELED Meaning and Definition

1. Teaseled is the past tense and past participle form of the verb "teasel." The term "teasel" refers to the action of using or working with a tool known as a "teasel" in order to raise the nap on fabric, usually done to achieve a softer or fluffier texture.

   A teasel is a type of natural comb-like tool typically made from the dried head of the teasel plant, which has a sturdy stem and numerous sharp bristles or spikes extending from it. The teasel head is often secured to a handle for easier handling and manipulation.

   When someone "teasels" or "teasels fabric," they use the teasel tool to repeatedly brush or comb the fabric, causing the bristles to lift and fluff the fibers. This process helps to open up the fabric's nap or weave, making it softer, fuller, and more textured. Teaseling is commonly used in textile industries to improve the quality and appearance of various fabrics, such as wool, cotton, or flannel.

   In summary, the term "teaseled" refers to the act of using a teasel or teaseling tool on fabric. It describes the action of raising the nap on the fabric to achieve a softer or fluffier texture.
