What does BOOTEE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A soft knitted or fabric shoe, especially one made for a baby, or a short, ankle-length boot.
A bootee for an infant is usually knitted from soft wool and has no rigid sole, since it is meant to keep a baby's feet warm rather than to support standing or walking. The same word also describes a short boot reaching only to the ankle, a sense used mainly for women's footwear rather than for babies' clothing. Knitting patterns for bootees are a common beginner project, often paired with a matching cap and mittens for a newborn gift set. The spelling bootie is sometimes used for the same word, though bootee remains the more standard form in dictionaries.
How BOOTEE is used
Common in knitting and baby-clothing contexts, and occasionally in fashion writing about short boots.
