What does HAICK mean in Scrabble?
noun
historicalregional
A long, usually white, wrapping garment worn as an outer covering by people in parts of North Africa.
A haick is not sewn like a coat but consists of a single large piece of cloth, several metres long, wound and draped around the whole body and sometimes the head. It has traditionally been worn by both men and women in North African countries as protection from sun, wind and dust. Travel writers and older ethnographic accounts often mention the haick when describing local dress, and the spelling haick is one of several variants, alongside haik and hyke.
