What does HAGDON mean in Scrabble?
noun
dialect
A regional name for the greater shearwater and other long-winged seabirds of the North Atlantic.
Hagdon belongs to the old vocabulary of fishermen and coastal people in Britain and eastern Canada, who saw these sea birds skimming the waves far from land. The birds belong to the genus Puffinus, and the sooty shearwater was known as the black hagdon. Modern bird guides prefer shearwater, so the dialect word survives mainly in older natural history and in word lists.
