What does BAUBLE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A small, showy ornament of little real value, such as a bright ball hung on a Christmas tree.
A bauble can be a cheap trinket worn for show or a glass ball placed among the branches of a festive tree. In older usage it also named the decorated stick carried by a court jester, which is why the word suggests something pretty but trivial. People still use it figuratively for any attractive thing that turns out to be worthless.
