What does HAMLET mean in Scrabble?
noun
A very small settlement in the country, smaller than a village.
A hamlet might be no more than a few houses and a farm gathered around a crossroads, often with no church or shop of its own. English law and custom once separated it from a village by exactly that lack of a parish church. The word came into English from Old French and is related to the word home; the Danish prince of Shakespeare's play has the same spelling but is an unrelated name.
