What does KHAKI mean in Scrabble?
noun
A dull yellowish-brown color, or a sturdy cotton or wool fabric dyed that color.
Khaki takes its name from a Hindi and Urdu word meaning dusty, and the color was first adopted for military uniforms because it blended into dry, sandy landscapes. The fabric later moved into everyday clothing, most familiarly in the casual trousers still called khakis. Today the word names both the muted brownish-tan shade and the durable cloth associated with it.
