What does GAMINE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A slim, boyish young woman or girl with a playful, mischievous charm.
Gamine is borrowed from French, where it first meant a girl who roamed the streets, the feminine partner of gamin. In English the street-urchin sense faded, and the word came to praise a certain look: cropped hair, a slender build and an impish smile. Film fans link it with actresses of the mid twentieth century who made that style famous. It also works as an adjective in phrases such as a gamine haircut.
