What does POUCH mean in Scrabble?
noun
A small, flexible bag or container used for carrying or storing something.
A pouch is usually softer and smaller than a full bag, often closing with a drawstring, zip or flap, and is used to carry items such as coins, tobacco or small tools. The word also names the fold of skin on the front of a kangaroo or similar marsupial, in which the young are carried and nursed after birth. In both senses, a pouch functions as a protected space that holds something close to the body.
