Time for a return of that irregular feature, words learned from playing solo mode of Words With Friends, or WTFWWF 6. This week, it's words with unexpected H's:


dhobi (DOH-bee) - n., (S. Asia) a person who does laundry.


Also, in India, a caste of people who wash clothes. From Hindi hobī, washerman, akin to Sanskrit dhāvaka, washerman, from dhāvati, he washes, related to dhavala, white.
