What does LAPIN mean in Scrabble?
noun
Rabbit fur, especially when sheared, dyed, or otherwise processed for use in clothing and trimmings.
The word lapin comes directly from the French word for rabbit and entered English mainly through the fur and fashion trade rather than through everyday speech about animals. Because rabbit fur is cheaper and more plentiful than fur from animals such as mink or seal, manufacturers often shear and dye lapin so that it resembles those pricier furs when made into coats, hats, or trim. The term still appears on clothing labels and in fashion writing whenever the material is genuine processed rabbit fur.
How LAPIN is used
