What does ALBEIT mean in Scrabble?
conjunction
formal
Although; even though, used to add a qualifying or contrasting fact to what has just been said.
Albeit lets a writer squeeze a small concession into the middle of a sentence without starting a whole new clause with although, as in a short, albeit useful, report. The word formed centuries ago from the phrase all be it, meaning roughly even though it be, and it has kept that slightly formal, compressed feel ever since. Because it reads as more literary than although, albeit turns up far more often in writing than in casual conversation.
