What does CROSSE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A long-handled stick with a webbed pocket at one end, used to catch, carry, and throw the ball in the sport of lacrosse.
The crosse gives lacrosse its French-derived name, since early Indigenous players in North America used a wooden stick with a curved head and netting to play the game long before Europeans adopted it. Modern crosses are made with a plastic or metal shaft and a synthetic mesh pocket, with slightly different shapes used by attackers, defenders, and goalkeepers. A player controls the ball almost entirely through the crosse, since touching the ball with bare hands is against the rules of the game.
