What does ROBE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A long, loose outer garment, often worn as a sign of office, ceremony, or comfort.
A robe hangs loosely from the shoulders rather than being fitted to the body, and it can mark a formal role, such as a judge's robe or a graduate's robe, or simply serve as everyday comfort, as with a bathrobe put on after a shower. The word covers both grand ceremonial dress and plain household wear, joined only by the loose, wrap-like cut of the garment. As a verb, to robe someone means to dress them in such a garment.
How ROBE is used
Common in everyday English; used for both ceremonial dress and ordinary dressing gowns.
