What does ABAYA mean in Scrabble?
noun
A loose, full-length outer robe, traditionally black, worn by women in many Arab and Muslim countries.
An abaya is typically worn over regular clothing and often paired with a separate headscarf, covering the body from the shoulders to the ankles or floor. While plain black remains the traditional choice in many Gulf countries, contemporary abayas come in a wide range of colors, fabrics, and embroidered designs, especially among younger wearers. The garment varies in cut and style across different regions and communities rather than following one single pattern.
