What does AHEAP mean in Scrabble?
adverb
archaic
In a heap; huddled or piled together.
Aheap follows the same old pattern as afoam and ablaze, turning the noun heap into a condition something can be in. It suits a sudden, disordered collapse into a pile better than the plain phrase in a heap does, and it survives now mainly in older fiction describing people or animals falling together.
