What does ANAS mean in Scrabble?
noun
literaryrare
Collections of anecdotes, sayings or scraps of information gathered about a particular person, place or subject.
Writers once compiled small books of memorable remarks, gossip and trivia about a famous person, calling each such collection an ana; several such books together, or the whole body of this kind of writing, could be called anas. The word has nothing to do with the duck genus of the same spelling, which is a separate scientific name and is not treated as a common noun here.
