What does TABARD mean in Scrabble?
noun
historical
A short, loose, sleeveless tunic worn over armour, or by a herald and bearing a coat of arms.
In the Middle Ages a tabard was a rough outer garment for peasants, and knights later wore a richer version over their armour so that they could be identified by the arms on it. Heralds still wear one embroidered with the royal arms at state ceremonies. In modern speech the word can also name a sleeveless overgarment such as a cleaner's or a worker's apron-like top.
