What does BOOTY mean in Scrabble?
noun
Valuable goods seized by force, especially property taken by soldiers or robbers.
Booty describes what winners carry off after a raid, battle, or robbery, whether that means gold and jewels taken from a defeated fleet or cash stolen in a heist, and the word always implies the goods changed hands through force rather than trade. Pirates and their booty are a fixture of adventure stories, where a buried chest of booty often drives the whole plot. In casual modern speech booty has also picked up an informal slang sense referring to a person's bottom, a use unrelated to plunder and belonging to a separate, much more recent register.
How BOOTY is used
The plunder sense is the older, standard meaning, found in history and adventure writing; an unrelated informal slang sense also exists.
- The pirates buried their booty on a remote island.
- Soldiers divided the booty taken from the captured fort.
- Detectives recovered most of the booty from the burglary.
- Legends describe a hidden hoard of Viking booty along the coast.
- The raiders loaded the booty onto three wagons before dawn.
