What does SMOCK mean in Scrabble?
noun
A loose, lightweight garment worn over ordinary clothes to protect them from dirt, paint or other mess.
A smock is cut wide and often gathered at the yoke or cuffs so that it slips easily over other clothing, which is why painters, farm workers and small children wear one while they work or play. The garment has a long history in rural dress, where a smock served as sturdy outer clothing for agricultural labourers long before it became associated with artists' studios. Today a smock is more likely to appear as a maternity garment or a nurse's or hairdresser's overall than as everyday farm wear. Because it hangs loosely from the shoulders, a smock also flatters a changing figure, which explains its continued use in maternity fashion.
How SMOCK is used
Used mainly for a loose protective or maternity garment, and historically for traditional rural workwear.
