What does SNOOD mean in Scrabble?
noun
A small net or fabric bag worn at the back of a woman's head to hold long hair in place.
A snood gathers loose hair into a pouch so it stays neat without the hair being fully braided or pinned up, and versions range from plain nylon nets to decorative crocheted or beaded styles. The same word also names an unrelated fleshy flap on a turkey's head and a short length of fishing line that carries a baited hook, so context decides which object is meant. The hair covering has appeared in fashion repeatedly since the medieval period, most recently as a retro style choice.
