What does PUTTEE mean in Scrabble?
noun
historical
A long strip of cloth wound spirally around the leg from ankle to knee, worn mainly by soldiers in the past for support and protection.
A puttee is wound from ankle to just below the knee, each turn overlapping the last, to support the muscles and protect the lower leg from mud, brush, and insect bites. The word entered English from Hindi patti, meaning a strip or bandage, reflecting its origins in South Asian dress before European armies adopted it. Soldiers of the early twentieth century, especially during the First World War, wore a puttee as standard uniform kit until laced boots and separate leggings gradually replaced it.
