The word that could mean "ceiling tile" is "pixnarth. ".
We know that "pixngorbl" means "ceiling fan" and "arthtusl" means "tile roof. " We can break down "pixngorbl" into "pixn" and "gorbl, " which we know mean "ceiling" and "fan belt, " respectively. Similarly, we can break down "arthtusl" into "arth" and "tusl, " which we know mean "tile" and "roof, " respectively.
To form the word for "ceiling tile, " we need to combine the words for "ceiling" and "tile. " The word "pixnarth" does just that by combining "pixn" (ceiling) and "arth" (tile).
