What does BROCK mean in Scrabble?
noun
dialectBritish
A badger, especially in British dialect and older rural usage.
Brock is an old word for the badger, inherited from Old English and ultimately from a Celtic root, and it survives mainly in regional and dialect speech rather than standard modern English. Country folklore and children's stories sometimes use brock as a name or nickname for a badger character, keeping the word alive outside everyday conversation. It also appears in older place names and surnames connected to areas where badgers were once common. Today most speakers would simply say badger, so meeting brock in a text usually signals a rural, dialect, or historical source.
