What does TOUSLE mean in Scrabble?
verb
To make someone's hair, or occasionally their clothing, untidy and messy, typically by rubbing or running the fingers through it playfully.
People often tousle a child's hair as an affectionate gesture, or wake up with hair tousled simply from moving around in sleep, so the word carries a warm, informal feel rather than a negative one. It can also describe the general effect of wind or rough handling on hair or clothes, leaving them ruffled and disordered. The related noun use, a tousle, describes the messy, tangled state itself.
