Raveling or raveling means a thread or bit of yarn that has come loose form a garment--
There's a raveling hanging from the bottom of your sweater.
Mend that raveling before it gets any worse.
Ravelin or ravelin means a military fortification shaped like a "V"--
We will be able to see them from the bastion, and we can fire on them from the ravelin.
Dig the raveling deep enopugh to provide cover for our men.
Now that you know that, you can say--
"He came back from the ravelin with a raveling hanging from his uniform, and got written up for it."
