What does BRUNET mean in Scrabble?
noun
A person, especially a boy or man, who has dark brown or black hair.
Brunet is the traditional masculine counterpart to brunette, which usually describes a woman or girl with the same colouring, though many writers today use either spelling for anyone regardless of sex. The word can also work as an adjective, so someone might describe a boy as brunet rather than blond or red-haired. Both brunet and brunette trace back to French, ultimately from brun, meaning brown, reflecting the hair colour itself rather than any other feature. Outside descriptions of hair colour, brunet is rarely used for anything else.
How BRUNET is used
Somewhat old-fashioned in everyday speech, more often seen in writing that carefully distinguishes male and female hair-colour terms.
