What does DADDY mean in Scrabble?
noun
informalchildish
An informal, affectionate word for father, used especially by young children or in casual family speech.
Daddy is the word many children learn before the more formal father, and adults often keep using it into later life as a warm, familiar way of addressing or referring to their own father. The word also extends informally beyond family relationships, as in the phrase sugar daddy for an older man who financially supports a younger partner, or big daddy for whoever is the largest or most important example of something. Despite these extended uses, the core sense of daddy stays close to childhood affection and family closeness rather than formality. Its tone is consistently softer and more intimate than father.
