What does TUX mean in Scrabble?
noun
informal
A dinner jacket, or the whole formal outfit worn with one.
Tux is the short form of tuxedo, and the longer word is itself a place name: Tuxedo Park, the New York club where the jacket without tails caught on in the 1880s. British English calls the same garment a dinner jacket and keeps tuxedo for the American cut. Strictly the tux is the jacket, though most speakers use it for the shirt, tie and trousers too.
