What does RAKISH mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Having a dashing, slightly daring look or manner that suggests carefree charm and a touch of mischief.
A rakish person wears a hat at a tilt, smiles a little too easily and seems unbothered by convention. The word grows out of rake, the old name for a fashionable man of loose habits, but it is usually a compliment, or at least an amused one, rather than a harsh judgement. Sailors also use it of a boat or car that looks sleek and fast. In every sense it suggests style, speed and a hint of the disreputable.
