What does SKIRT mean in Scrabble?
noun
A garment for women or girls that hangs from the waist and covers part or all of the legs.
Skirt comes from an old Norse word for a shirt or shirt-like garment, the same root that eventually gave English the word shirt itself. Skirts vary enormously in length and cut, from a long formal skirt worn to an evening event to a short pleated skirt worn on a sports field. The word also extends beyond clothing, describing the fringed edge of an object, such as the skirt around the base of a hovercraft.
