What does CAVORT mean in Scrabble?
verb
To leap, prance or play about in a lively, carefree way.
To cavort is to move about with high spirits and little restraint, as lambs, children or dolphins do. The word probably began as an American coinage in the nineteenth century, perhaps from curvet, a horse's leaping movement. It carries a note of showiness or mild disapproval when people are the subject, and "cavorting with" someone can hint at improper company.
