What does MUTCH mean in Scrabble?
noun
Scotshistorical
A close-fitting cap or bonnet, especially one traditionally worn by married women in Scotland.
A mutch was a plain, closely fitted head covering, usually of white linen or cotton, worn indoors by married women in Scotland as a mark of respectability. It tied under the chin and often had a frilled edge, distinguishing it from the more elaborate bonnets worn outdoors. The garment belongs to traditional Scottish dress of past centuries and is now seen mainly in museums, folk costume and historical description. The word itself is specific to Scots vocabulary and has no everyday equivalent in general English.
