What does BERET mean?
BERET (noun): a soft, round, flat-crowned hat, often made of wool or felt. Example: “She tilted her red beret as she stepped out into the autumn wind.”
Similar: cap, hat, tam.
Did you know? The beret is closely tied to French and Basque culture, and military units worldwide still wear versions of it as part of their uniform.
Using BERET in a sentence
BERET keeps its French pronunciation, so the final t is silent: buh-RAY in American English, BERR-ay in British. It's usually described by color or angle, as in a red beret or a beret worn at a tilt, and it differs from a beanie by its flat, round crown with no turned-up fold. The word also works as a nickname: the US Army Special Forces are known as the Green Berets. And the stereotype of the painter in a beret and smock has made it a quick visual shorthand for 'artist' in cartoons and costumes.
How BERET fits the puzzle
BERET circles E and T, which give TO A TEE one of its T's and one of its E's.
Its circled letters feed the caption answer, TO A TEE.
