What does CLOCHE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A bell-shaped cover that shelters young plants, or a close-fitting bell-shaped hat.
Cloche is the French word for bell, and both English meanings follow the shape. Gardeners set a glass or plastic cloche over seedlings to hold in warmth on cold nights. In the 1920s the same name was given to a snug women's hat that fitted down to the eyebrows, and the style is still linked to that decade.
