What does BONNET mean in Scrabble?
noun
A soft hat, often tied under the chin, traditionally worn by women and children, or, in British usage, the hinged metal cover over a car's engine.
The bonnet as headwear traditionally framed the face while leaving the front of the forehead exposed, with ribbons tied beneath the chin to hold it in place, and older styles for women had a brim that curved outward like the mouth of a funnel. Scottish men and boys also wore a flat woollen bonnet as everyday headgear, a plainer style than the women's version. In British English, bonnet additionally names the hinged panel that covers a car's engine, the part that American English calls the hood, and drivers open the bonnet to check the oil or the engine itself. The same word can even describe a plain metal cover over a chimney or a fireplace opening, since bonnet has come to mean almost any protective cap-like covering.
