What does BERET mean in Scrabble?
noun
A round, soft, flat cap without a brim, traditionally made of felt or wool and associated with French and Basque dress, military uniforms, and artistic style.
A beret is shaped from a single circle of soft fabric gathered into a snug band that fits around the head, with the rest of the material draping loosely to one side. The cap has long been associated with French and Basque shepherds and farmers, which is why it became a stereotypical symbol of French identity in popular imagination. Armies around the world issue coloured berets to particular regiments or specialist units, so that the colour itself signals a soldier's role, as with the maroon berets worn by paratroopers in several countries. Painters and writers of earlier generations also adopted the beret as a mark of bohemian or artistic style, an association that still lingers in how the cap is portrayed in film and cartoons.
