What does RABAT mean in Scrabble?
noun
A stiff, bib-like vest or collar attachment worn by some clergy beneath a clerical collar as part of formal ecclesiastical dress.
A rabat typically fastens around the neck and chest, giving a clean, finished look under a clergyman's collar without requiring a full shirt front underneath. Roman Catholic, Anglican, and some Protestant clergy wear a rabat for formal occasions such as services, ordinations, or official portraits, often black with a touch of color marking rank. The garment is distinct from the small white tab collar itself, since the rabat is the larger vest-like piece that the collar attaches to. The word is unrelated to the city of Rabat in Morocco, despite the identical spelling.

A specialized term in clerical dress, mainly used within discussions of church vestments rather than everyday clothing.
