What does HAUTE mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Of the highest level of fashion, style, or quality, especially describing elite design, cooking, or society; borrowed from French, where it simply means high.
English absorbed haute mainly through the phrases haute couture, meaning high fashion made by leading designers, and haute cuisine, meaning elaborate, high-quality cooking prepared with exacting technique. Used on its own, haute carries the same sense of exclusive refinement, describing anything associated with the most fashionable or expensive end of a field. The word keeps its French pronunciation and spelling in English rather than being anglicised, which itself signals sophistication to many readers. Because haute rarely appears without a following noun in casual speech, standalone use tends to sound deliberately stylish or slightly self-conscious.
