What does BRUGH mean in Scrabble?
noun
Scotsdialecthistorical
A Scots dialect word for a chartered town or borough, sometimes also used for a large house or hall.
Brugh is an older Scots spelling for a chartered settlement, close in meaning to the more familiar burgh, and it appears mainly in historical and regional writing rather than in modern speech. Some sources also record brugh for a large house or hall, a sense that overlaps with old descriptions of substantial fortified dwellings. The word shares distant roots with borough and burgh, all tracing back to an Old English term for a fortified settlement, though the three developed as separate written forms. Today brugh survives chiefly in dictionaries, old place names and word-game lists rather than in ordinary conversation.
