What does BRAWS mean in Scrabble?
noun
Scots
Fine clothes; one's best or finest garments, in Scots usage.
Braws is a Scots noun built on the adjective braw, meaning fine or splendid, but it names the clothes themselves rather than describing something as fine. People put on their braws for a wedding, a fair or a Sunday service, much as English speakers might say their Sunday best. The noun keeps its own life in Scots long after the adjective braw might be understood more widely.
How BRAWS is used
Scots; used mainly for special-occasion clothing rather than everyday dress.
- She put on her braws for the wedding on Saturday.
- The bairns wore their braws to the Highland games.
- He kept his braws pressed and ready in the wardrobe.
- Everyone turned out in their braws for the fair.
- Her braws were plain but always spotless.
