What does AHORSE mean in Scrabble?
adverb
archaic
Mounted on a horse; on horseback.
Built like afoot and aboard, the word puts the rider on the animal instead of beside it. It belongs to older narrative prose, where knights, couriers and travellers are described as ahorse rather than simply riding. Today it is chosen only for a deliberately old-fashioned or romantic tone.
