Root Explanation

Reglet is derived from the Old French word 'reglet', which means a small straight edge or rule. The term is related to 'regle', meaning rule or straightedge, which comes from the Latin 'regula', meaning a straight stick or rule. Thus, reglet refers to a small rule or straight edge used in drawing or measuring.

Memory Tip

Think of a small 'rule' ('reglet') that helps you draw straight lines — that's what a reglet is.
