What does KYACK mean in Scrabble?
noun
North American
A pack bag or pannier, usually one of a matched pair, used for carrying supplies on a horse or mule.
A kyack hung on either side of a pack saddle so that its weight balanced the load evenly across the animal's back, and the word names the sturdy leather or canvas bag itself rather than the animal carrying it. It belongs to the vocabulary of trail and pack camps in the American West, where goods too bulky for saddlebags travelled this way.
