What does COLLAR mean in Scrabble?
noun
The part of a garment that fits around the neck, or a band placed around the neck of a person or animal.
A collar can be the folded or upright part of a shirt or coat, a leather or fabric band buckled around a pet's neck, or a mechanical ring in machinery that stops a shaft from sliding out of place. The word also works as a verb, so to collar someone means to seize them by the neck or, more loosely, to catch or confront them. Because the shape recurs so often, the same word describes a cut of meat rolled and tied near the neck and a decorative chain of office worn by officials. The many senses all share the idea of something wrapped tightly around a central point.
