What does COTE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A small shelter built to house birds such as pigeons or doves, or occasionally small livestock.
Cote is related to cot and cottage, all descending from an old root meaning a small, enclosed dwelling, whether for people or for animals. Villages that once relied on pigeons for food and for carrying messages built freestanding cotes as a visible mark of status, since the right to keep one was historically limited to landowners. Today the word survives mainly inside the compound dovecote, though cote alone still turns up in place names and descriptions of older farm buildings.
How COTE is used
- Pigeons settled for the night inside the wooden cote.
