What does ARGYLE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A knitted pattern of diamond shapes in contrasting colours, or a garment, especially a sock, made in that pattern.
The design is taken from the tartan of the Campbell clan of Argyll in western Scotland, which explains the name. Argyle became fashionable in the twentieth century for socks and sweaters, and it is still linked with golf wear and preppy clothing. The same word also names a silver sauce server with a hot-water compartment, though that sense is far less common now.
