What does TUQUE mean in Scrabble?
noun
North American
A close-fitting knitted winter cap, often with a tassel or pompom, especially as worn in Canada.
A tuque is pulled snugly over the head and ears for warmth in cold weather, knitted from wool or a similar material and sometimes finished with a pompom on top. The word and the garment come from French Canadian tradition, and the tuque remains strongly associated with Canadian winters and outdoor sports such as skating and skiing. In parts of the United States the same kind of cap is more often simply called a knit hat or beanie.
