What does SNOOT mean in Scrabble?
noun
informal
An informal word for the nose or snout, often used teasingly; also, in photography and stage lighting, a cone-shaped attachment fitted over a light to narrow its beam into a tight spot.
People use snoot casually and often affectionately for a person's or an animal's nose, as when someone boops a dog's snoot in play. The word also carries a whiff of the related adjective snooty, since holding one's snoot in the air suggests looking down on others with disdain. In a completely separate technical sense, photographers and lighting technicians attach a snoot to a lamp or flash to focus its light into a narrow, controlled beam rather than a broad spread.
How SNOOT is used
Casual and playful when used for a nose or snout, and a precise technical term in photography and stage lighting.
