What does PRINK mean in Scrabble?
verb
Britishliterary
To dress or groom oneself carefully and showily, often to attract attention.
Prink is an older relative of primp and preen, describing the same fussy attention to hair, clothes and appearance, but with a slightly showier edge, as if dressing up for display rather than mere tidiness. Writers once used it for people decking themselves out finely before a dance or a portrait sitting. Today it survives mainly in British and literary use, where primp has become the more everyday word.
