What does LANDAU mean in Scrabble?
noun
A four-wheeled horse-drawn carriage with a folding top divided into two sections that can be raised or lowered separately.
A landau was designed so that the front and back halves of its roof could be opened independently, letting passengers choose an open or closed ride. The style took its name from the German city of Landau, where such carriages were first built in the eighteenth century. Coachbuilders later borrowed the word for a similar folding-roof style fitted to early automobiles, and landau bars, the ornamental hinges on some car roofs, still recall the original carriage.
