What does CALASH mean in Scrabble?
noun
historical
A light horse-drawn carriage with low wheels and a folding hood, or the hood itself.
Travellers of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries used the calash for short trips because its top could be raised in rain and folded down in fine weather. In French Canada a two-wheeled version with a high driver's seat stayed in service long after motor cars arrived. The same name was given to a tall folding bonnet that ladies wore over elaborate hairstyles, collapsing like a carriage hood.
