What does CACKLE mean in Scrabble?
verb
To make a harsh, broken, clucking cry as a hen does, or to laugh in a loud, shrill way.
The word began as a description of the noise a hen makes, especially after laying an egg, and a goose can cackle too. People borrowed it for laughter that sounds sharp and rattling, which is why a cackle often belongs to a witch or a villain in stories. It can also mean to chatter on at length in a silly way, and as a noun it names the sound itself.
