What does STOLE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A long scarf or panel of fabric, often made of fur, silk or velvet, worn draped over the shoulders.
A fashionable stole was once a common accessory with formal eveningwear, worn by a woman over a strapless dress to add warmth and elegance. In a religious context, a stole is a narrow strip of cloth worn by clergy over the shoulders during services, often coloured to match the season of the church calendar. The word stole is also the past tense of the verb steal, but that grammatical form has nothing to do with the garment described here. Vintage clothing collectors still seek out an old fur stole for its craftsmanship and period style.
How STOLE is used
Used both for the fashion accessory worn with eveningwear and for the vestment worn by clergy during services.
