"2. A fishing net having three layers."
![]()
"3. An instrument for drawing ellipses."
![]()

![]()
Also: "From Old French tramail, from Latin tremaculum, from tres (three) + macula (mesh)."
I've heard of macular degeneration; do we have mesh in our eyes?
And, in "[the ban on cigarette sales at Boston drugstores and on college campuses] does trammel on businesses' right to sell...", is the word on extraneous?
