What does CYMAR mean in Scrabble?
noun
historicalliterary
A woman's loose, light dressing gown or short jacket, worn especially in the 17th and 18th centuries.
A cymar was a flowing, informal garment women wore over a dress or in place of one at home, cut loose and light rather than fitted like formal outer clothing of the period. The word entered English from French simarre and appears often in the fashion and literature of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, describing everything from a simple wrap to a fur-trimmed robe. A cymar shares a common ancestry with the word chemise, though the two garments differ in cut and use. Costume historians still use cymar today when describing paintings and inventories from that era.
