What does ASCOT mean in Scrabble?
noun
formal
A wide band of fabric worn as a necktie, folded over and fastened with a pin, associated with formal daytime dress.
The ascot takes its name from Royal Ascot, the English horse race where such wide, formally knotted neckwear became fashionable among spectators in the nineteenth century. Unlike a standard necktie, an ascot is broad enough to be folded flat across the chest and is usually held in place with a decorative pin rather than a simple knot. Today the ascot survives mainly in formal morning dress and in costume associated with old-fashioned elegance.
