tile
/taɪl/
When used as a noun, "tile" can be both countable (referring to a single piece) and uncountable (referring to the material in general). As a verb, it is most commonly used in the transitive form when describing the act of installing tiles in a room, such as "tiling the bathroom." In modern digital contexts, the word is also frequently used to describe small rectangular interface elements on a computer screen, though this is a metaphorical extension of the physical object.
