What does ACOCK mean in Scrabble?
adverb
archaic
In a jaunty, tilted position, especially of a hat or cap worn at a rakish angle.
A hat worn acock sits tipped to one side rather than square on the head, giving the wearer a cheeky or confident air. The word combines the prefix a, meaning on or in, with cock in its sense of tilting something upward or sideways, the same idea behind cocking one's eyebrow. Acock now appears almost only in older novels and poetry describing a character's appearance or manner, and modern writers rarely reach for it. It is closely related to the still-used phrase cocked at an angle, which conveys much the same picture in plainer language.
