What does GUIMPE mean in Scrabble?
noun
historical
A piece of cloth or a light blouse worn over the neck and shoulders, as part of a nun's dress or beneath a low-necked gown.
The guimpe, a French word, began as the starched cloth that covered a nun's neck and chest. In fashion it later named a thin chemisette or short blouse with sleeves, worn under a pinafore or a low-cut dress so that the neckline showed a modest layer of fabric. It is related to the wimple, though the two are not quite the same garment.
