What does CHAISE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A light open horse-drawn carriage for one or two people; also a long chair for reclining.
In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries a chaise was a small two-wheeled carriage, often with a folding hood, drawn by one horse. The word is simply French for chair, and the same root gives chaise longue, the long reclining seat. Travellers hired a post chaise to move quickly between towns, changing horses along the way. Today the word usually means the upholstered lounge chair.
