What does DUVET mean in Scrabble?
noun
A soft, thick quilt filled with down, feathers, or a synthetic fibre, used as a bed covering instead of a top sheet and blankets.
A duvet is usually slipped inside a removable, washable cover, so the whole bedding set can be changed without laundering the bulky filled quilt itself. The word came into English from French, where duvet originally meant down, the soft feathers once used to stuff the quilt. Duvets became especially popular in Britain from the 1970s onward as a quicker alternative to making a bed with sheets, blankets, and a bedspread.
