What does TIARA mean in Scrabble?
noun
A jewelled, crown-like ornament worn on the head, especially by women on formal occasions.
A tiara usually sits toward the front of the head rather than encircling it completely the way a full crown does, which is part of what separates the two in everyday use. The word also names the tall triple crown once worn by the pope, a much older and specifically ceremonial sense that has little to do with modern jewellery. Beauty pageants, royal weddings and formal balls are among the few settings where an ordinary person is still likely to see a tiara worn rather than displayed in a museum case. Some tiaras are family heirlooms passed down for generations rather than bought new for a single event.
How TIARA is used
Countable; most often describes formal jewellery worn by women, occasionally the historical papal crown.
- The bride wore her grandmother's tiara at the wedding.
- A diamond tiara sat in the glass case beside the other jewels.
- The pageant winner was crowned with a small tiara.
- Photographs show the pope wearing the triple tiara before the practice ended.
- She borrowed a tiara for the ball rather than buying one.
