What does UNTUCK mean in Scrabble?
verb
To pull the edge or end of something free from where it was folded in, as a shirt from a waistband or a sheet from a bed.
It names the reverse of tucking, and clothing is its natural home: a shirt is untucked when its hem hangs loose over the trousers. The same action applies to bedsheets, napkins and the tails of a scarf. As a result the word also describes a casual look, since an untucked shirt reads as relaxed where a tucked one reads as formal.
