What does TEDDY mean in Scrabble?
noun
An informal name for a soft stuffed toy bear; also, a woman's close-fitting one-piece undergarment combining a top and knickers.
A teddy in the sense of a toy is simply a stuffed bear given to a child, a shortened, affectionate form of teddy bear that is now used almost as often as the full phrase. The other common sense of teddy refers to a piece of lingerie that joins a camisole-style top and underpants into a single garment, worn instead of separate pieces. The two meanings share only the name and have no real connection beyond that, so context always makes clear which teddy is meant. Both uses are entirely everyday and appear constantly in shops, catalogues and casual conversation.

Common and informal for the toy bear, and a standard term in clothing and lingerie for the undergarment.
