What does EARLAP mean in Scrabble?
noun
regional
The soft lower part of the outer ear, or a flap on a cap that folds down to cover the ear.
Earlap most often names the same fleshy lobe at the bottom of the ear that is usually called an earlobe, and older regional English uses earlap for exactly that part. The word is also used for the fabric flaps sewn onto a winter cap so that they can be pulled down over the ears in cold weather. Because both senses describe something attached to or covering the ear, writers sometimes need context to tell which one is meant. The winter-cap sense is the one most commonly seen in modern descriptions of clothing.
How EARLAP is used
