What does SARONG mean in Scrabble?
noun
A long piece of fabric wrapped around the body and tucked at the waist, worn traditionally in Southeast Asia and the Pacific.
A sarong is a simple rectangle of cloth, often brightly patterned, wrapped around the waist or chest and tucked or knotted in place rather than sewn into a fitted garment. It is worn by both men and women across Southeast Asia and the Pacific Islands as everyday and ceremonial dress, and its light, breathable fabric suits hot, humid climates. Outside the regions where it originated, a sarong is now also worn casually as a beach cover-up or lightweight skirt.
