What does CUDDY mean in Scrabble?
noun
nauticaldialect
A small enclosed cabin or cupboard, especially the galley or captain's quarters on a small ship.
Cuddy is an old nautical term for a cramped cabin built into a small vessel, often used as a galley, storeroom or sleeping space for the crew. On working boats and barges the cuddy was typically the only sheltered space aboard, tucked under the deck at bow or stern. The word later spread beyond boats to describe any small cupboard or cubbyhole in regional British speech. It survives today mostly in maritime history and dialect rather than everyday standard English.
