tongue-and-groove
Board-joining wood joint
Tongue-and-groove describes a joint where one board has a projecting ridge (the tongue) that fits into a corresponding channel (the groove) in another board.
The interlocking design creates tight, flush connections for flooring, paneling, and siding: We installed tongue-and-groove pine throughout the cabin.
The term works as noun or adjective: tongue-and-groove planks, laying tongue-and-groove.
