  "term": "Biscuitry",
  "field": "Industrial and trades",
  "definition": "A wood-joining technique that uses a small, oval-shaped wafer of compressed wood, known as a biscuit, to align and reinforce a joint between two workpieces. A specialized power tool cuts matching crescent-shaped slots into the edges of the boards, and the biscuit is then glued into these slots. As the water-based glue is absorbed, the biscuit swells to create a strong, tight-fitting connection that resists shear forces.",
