What does FRUMP mean in Scrabble?
noun
A person, especially a woman, regarded as dowdy and unfashionable in dress and manner.
Frump is used to criticize someone whose clothing and style seem old-fashioned, drab or careless rather than merely simple. The word sounds harsher in tone than most casual comments about fashion, so it appears more often in older writing than in current speech. The related adjective frumpy is somewhat more common today and describes the same dowdy quality without naming a person directly.
