Answer

FROCK

A frock is a loose outer garment, particularly a dress worn by women or girls, or a long gown worn by monks, priests, or other clergy. The word has Germanic origins and was commonly used in English from the 14th century onward. Today it often carries a somewhat quaint or vintage quality in everyday usage.

Strategy Tip

Words with less common letter combinations like FR at the start can be tricky. If your early guesses eliminate the usual suspects, try thinking about consonant clusters that appear less frequently in everyday vocabulary.
