What does RAGMAN mean in Scrabble?
noun
archaic
A man who collects or deals in rags, old clothes and similar discarded goods.
A ragman once went from street to street with a cart, buying or taking scraps of cloth that could be sold on to paper mills and cloth makers. The trade is now rare, so the word feels old and is met mostly in older fiction and local history. An older and separate sense, now obsolete, meant a long document hung with many seals. A British equivalent is the rag-and-bone man.
