What does SKORT mean in Scrabble?
noun
informal
A piece of clothing for women or girls that combines a pair of built-in shorts with the outward appearance of a skirt.
A skort blends the word skirt with the word shorts, describing exactly what the garment does, offering the modesty of a skirt with the freedom of movement of shorts underneath. Tennis, golf, and other active sports popularized the skort long before it became common casual and school wear. Because the shorts layer stays hidden beneath the outer panel, a skort looks like an ordinary skirt from the front.
