What does CARDY mean in Scrabble?
noun
Britishinformal
A short informal name for a cardigan, a knitted jacket that fastens up the front with buttons.
Cardy shortens the longer word cardigan the way telly shortens television, trimming a familiar garment name down for everyday conversation. A cardy is thought of as cosy rather than smart, something reached for over a shirt on a chilly evening rather than worn to a formal event. The spelling cardie appears just as often as cardy in casual writing.
