raión

rayon (fabric)

noun rrah-YOHN Rare

Usage Note

Raión is a non-standard spelling of rayón, the semi-synthetic textile fibre made from cellulose (named after the trademark Rayon). The RAE records the word as rayón, with the tilde marking the stress on the final syllable; learners should prefer that form. It is used in clothing and textile contexts.

Examples

"La blusa está hecha de raión suave y ligero."

Natural Translation

The blouse is made of soft, light rayon.
