What does BANGLE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A stiff ring of metal, glass or plastic worn around the wrist or ankle as an ornament.
Unlike a bracelet, a bangle is rigid and has no clasp, so it is slipped over the hand and stays on the wrist. The word comes from a Hindi term for a glass bracelet, and such rings have long been worn in India, often in large matching sets that chime softly. Bangles are made from gold, silver, glass, wood or brightly coloured plastic. In some traditions they mark special occasions such as weddings.
