What does BUGGY mean in Scrabble?
noun
North AmericanBritish
A small, light vehicle on four wheels, either a carriage pulled by a horse or a folding pushchair for a baby.
In its older sense a buggy is a light, open, horse-drawn carriage for one or two people, once common on farms and in towns before the motor car. The same word later came to describe small motorised vehicles built for rough ground, such as a beach buggy or dune buggy. In British English a buggy also means a light folding pushchair used to wheel a baby or small child. Because the underlying idea in every sense is a small, simple vehicle, the same word has spread naturally across these different uses.
How BUGGY is used
