What does CARAFE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A glass or metal bottle with a wide neck and no handle, used to serve water, wine or coffee at a table.
Restaurants often bring house wine in a carafe, measured by the half litre or the quart, and a smaller one may stand beside a hotel bed with drinking water. The word came into English from French, and before that from Italian caraffa and Arabic roots meaning a vessel for drawing water. Unlike a decanter, a carafe is not usually fitted with a stopper and has a plainer, less formal look.
