What does JEANS mean in Scrabble?
noun
Casual trousers made of sturdy cotton denim, traditionally blue and reinforced with rivets at points of strain.
Jeans are trousers cut from tough denim cotton, originally designed in the nineteenth century as durable workwear for labourers and miners before becoming one of the most widely worn garments in the world. The word survives only in the plural, much like trousers or scissors, since a single leg of the garment is never called a jean on its own. Levi Strauss and Jacob Davis are credited with patenting the riveted design that made jeans especially resistant to tearing at the pockets and seams. Over the twentieth century jeans moved from practical workwear into everyday fashion, spanning nearly every age group and occasion.
