What does BICORN mean in Scrabble?
noun
A cocked hat with the brim folded up into two points, as worn by officers in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
The bicorn takes its name from Latin roots for "two horns", describing the hat's two raised corners. It is the shape most people picture when they think of Napoleon, who wore his sideways, with the points over his ears. As an adjective the same word can describe anything with two horns or horn-like parts, though that use is now technical and uncommon.
