What does TUNIC mean in Scrabble?
noun
A loose garment that hangs from the shoulders to about the hips or knees, worn either as everyday clothing or as part of a uniform.
A tunic can be as simple as a plain length of cloth worn belted at the waist, the basic garment of ordinary people in ancient Greece and Rome, or as formal as the fitted jacket that forms part of a modern police or military uniform. Because the shape leaves the arms and legs free while covering the torso, versions of the tunic appear across many cultures and centuries, from Roman soldiers to modern gym uniforms. The word also extends beyond clothing in biology, where it names a membrane or covering layer, such as the outer coat surrounding certain organs.
How TUNIC is used
Used both for everyday and historical clothing and, more formally, for the fitted jacket worn as part of a uniform.
