What does LASSIE mean in Scrabble?
noun
Scotsinformalregional
A familiar, affectionate term of address for a girl, and the counterpart of laddie in Scots speech.
Lassie began as the diminutive of lass, an old northern noun that has been in continuous use since medieval times, and the extra syllable softens it further. Readers outside Britain usually meet the word first as the name of the fictional collie, which borrowed it whole from ordinary speech rather than inventing it. Age matters to how lassie lands: from an older speaker it sounds fond, while between people of the same generation it can sound teasing or old-fashioned. Robert Burns used it freely, and much of the warmth the word still carries comes from that poetic tradition.
