What does HATPIN mean in Scrabble?
noun
A long pin, often topped with a decorative head, pushed through a hat and the wearer's hair to hold the hat in place.
Before hats were held on by elastic or clips, women relied on the hatpin to keep a wide brim steady in the wind. Some were plain steel, while others ended in glass, pearl or enamel and were collected as small pieces of jewelry. A few were so long that laws and transport rules once required protective tips on them. Today the hatpin turns up mostly in antique shops and costume work.
