What does HODDEN mean in Scrabble?
noun
Scots
A rough, plain cloth woven at home from undyed wool, once worn by ordinary country people.
Hodden was the everyday fabric of Scottish farm and shepherd life, thick, hard-wearing and the natural grey-brown of the fleece. Because it needed no dye it was cheap, and it became a symbol of honest plainness; in a famous Burns song a man is worth more than his rank, though he wears hodden grey. The word now appears mostly in historical writing.
