What does NAPPY mean in Scrabble?
noun
British
A piece of absorbent material fastened around a baby's bottom to hold urine and faeces.
A nappy is worn by babies and very young children until they are toilet-trained, and comes either as a disposable version thrown away after use or a reusable cloth version washed and used again. The British term corresponds to diaper in American English, and the two words rarely overlap between the dialects. The word also exists as an adjective describing hair that grows in a tight, springy curl, a separate sense unconnected to the baby garment. Parents change a nappy frequently through the day to keep a baby comfortable and dry.
