What does PARKA mean in Scrabble?
noun
A long, heavy, hooded jacket, usually lined with fur or a warm fabric, designed to protect against extreme cold.
The parka originated among Arctic peoples such as the Inuit, who made it from animal skins to survive bitterly cold winds and snow. Modern parkas keep the same basic hooded shape but are usually made from synthetic waterproof fabric filled with down or synthetic insulation. Because the hood and length cover more of the body than an ordinary coat, a parka is often the garment of choice for extreme cold, military use, or heavy snow. Many parkas also include a drawstring waist and a fur-trimmed hood to shield the face from wind.
