What does ASSOIL mean in Scrabble?
verb
archaic
To absolve or set someone free from guilt, sin, or blame, especially in a religious or legal sense.
Assoil belonged to the everyday vocabulary of medieval English, where a priest could assoil a penitent of sin or a court could assoil an accused person of a charge, much as absolve is used today. The word faded from ordinary use as absolve and acquit became the standard choices, so assoil now appears mainly in historical novels, older poetry, and quotations from earlier English rather than in modern writing. Its form echoes other old verbs built on French and Latin roots for loosening or releasing, distantly related to the modern word absolve.
