What does CLUCK mean in Scrabble?
noun
The short, clicking sound a hen makes, especially when calling to its chicks or after laying an egg.
A cluck is quieter and more clipped than a crow, and it is used by hens to communicate with each other and with their chicks. The word is echoic, built to imitate the sound itself, much like clack or click. Cluck can also serve as a verb, so that a worried hen is said to cluck around her nest. The sound is familiar to anyone who has spent time near a farmyard or a small backyard flock.
How CLUCK is used
Used both as a noun for the sound itself and as a verb describing a hen making that sound.
