What does APOLOG mean in Scrabble?
noun
literaryrare
An older spelling of apologue, a moral tale whose point is spelled out, as in the collections of Aesop.
Apolog is a rare, shortened spelling of apologue, from Greek apologos, a tale. Unlike a parable, an apolog does not need a religious setting; it simply illustrates a lesson, as in the tale of a fox and sour grapes. Most writers use the longer spelling, and the shortened one lives on mainly in word lists.
