What does ARRANT mean in Scrabble?

The word began centuries ago as a variant of errant, originally describing a wandering thief, before narrowing to its modern sense of downright or utter. Writers today reach for arrant mainly for old-fashioned or literary color, since plain utter or complete usually carries the same meaning in ordinary speech.
