What does ALMNER mean in Scrabble?
noun
historical
A person, especially in a hospital or religious house, whose duty is to give out alms to the poor.
An almner held a formal position within a monastery, church or hospital, responsible for collecting donations and handing them out to those in need. The word is an older spelling that sits alongside the more familiar almoner, and both trace back to the medieval practice of organized charity. Today almner appears mainly in historical writing about medieval religious houses and old hospital records, rather than in everyday speech.
