What does CORNET mean in Scrabble?
noun
musicBritish
A brass instrument similar to the trumpet but shorter and more compact, with a mellower tone.
A cornet has valves like a trumpet but a shorter, wider tube that gives its sound a rounder, less piercing quality, which is why brass bands often favor it over the trumpet. Beyond music, the same word names a cone-shaped wafer holding ice cream in British English, and, historically, it named a junior cavalry officer who once carried the troop's flag. All three senses share the idea of a cone or horn-like shape, whether of metal, wafer, or the twisted paper cones the word once described. The military rank of cornet was abolished in Britain in the nineteenth century.
