What does APRON mean in Scrabble?
noun
A protective garment tied over the front of the body to keep clothing clean, or, by extension, any similarly shaped protective or supporting surface.
An apron traditionally covers the front of the body from chest or waist to about the knees, tied at the back, and is worn while cooking, cleaning, or doing other messy work to keep clothes underneath clean. The word has spread well beyond the kitchen: pilots taxi their aircraft onto an apron, the paved area near a terminal, and stage actors sometimes perform on the apron, the strip of stage floor in front of the curtain. Formal dress for certain bishops and Freemasons also includes a ceremonial apron worn as part of the regalia. In each extended sense, the shared idea is a flat, protective, or supporting surface positioned in front of or beneath something else.
