What does REPAST mean in Scrabble?
noun
formalliterary
A meal, especially a substantial or pleasant one that people sit down to together.
The word repast turns up where a writer wants a meal to sound more ceremonial than plain dinner or lunch would. It comes through Old French from the Latin pascere, to feed, and so it is a cousin of pasture. In modern prose it often appears in a slightly playful or old-fashioned tone, as when a simple picnic is dressed up as a grand occasion.
