What does PETTI mean in Scrabble?
noun
informal
An informal, shortened form of petticoat: a woman's underskirt worn beneath a dress or skirt.
Petti simply clips the ending off petticoat, the same way telly shortens television, and it turns up mostly in casual speech about clothing rather than in formal writing about fashion. Someone might complain that a petti keeps riding up, or ask a tailor to shorten a petti to match a new hemline. Because it depends so heavily on petticoat for its meaning, petti is rarely defined on its own in most dictionaries.
