What does BLOUSE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A loose, lightweight upper garment for women, typically resembling a shirt and fastened at the front or back.
A blouse usually hangs looser through the body than a fitted shirt, and the term is used almost exclusively for women's clothing rather than menswear. Modern blouses range from plain office wear to elaborate designs with ruffles, bows or sheer fabric, but all share that characteristically soft, unstructured cut. The word also names the loose military jacket worn as part of a soldier's uniform, a sense that survives mainly in formal dress regulations. As a verb, to blouse a garment means to pull and gather fabric so that it puffs out loosely, as trousers can be bloused over the top of a boot.
