What does GOGLET mean in Scrabble?
noun
Indian Englishhistorical
A long-necked jar, usually made of porous unglazed earthenware, used especially in India to hold and cool drinking water through evaporation.
A goglet works because its porous clay walls let a small amount of water seep through and evaporate from the outer surface, drawing heat away from the water still held inside. Travelers and colonial households in India and other hot climates relied on the goglet before refrigeration was available, often hanging it in a breeze to speed the cooling. The word is also spelled guglet or gurglet in older accounts, and dictionaries sometimes cross-reference all three spellings as the same vessel. Similar unglazed water jars are still used today in many hot regions, even though the name goglet itself has largely fallen out of everyday use.
