What does CRAVAT mean in Scrabble?
noun
A broad strip of cloth worn knotted loosely around the neck, either as a forerunner of the necktie or tucked inside an open collar.

It was the ancestor of the modern tie and went through many fashions of knot, starch and lace. Today a cravat is a dressy, slightly old-fashioned accessory, often in silk.
