What does ANTRE mean in Scrabble?
noun
archaicliterary
An old, poetic term for a cavern or hollow opening in rock.
Antre shares its Latin root with antrum and entered English mainly through verse, most famously in a Shakespeare line describing "antres vast." Writers reaching for an exotic or old-fashioned tone sometimes still pick antre today over the everyday word cave. Outside poetry and deliberately archaic prose, plain modern English simply says cave instead.
