What does CASUS mean in Scrabble?
noun
formal
A case, event, or set of circumstances, a Latin word used mainly inside fixed English phrases from law and diplomacy.
Casus rarely stands alone in English; instead it usually appears inside a borrowed Latin phrase, most famously casus belli, an event used to justify starting a war. Diplomats, lawyers, and historians use these Latin phrases because they name a precise legal or political idea without a single, exact English equivalent. The underlying Latin word is related to a verb meaning to fall or to happen, which is also the root of the English word case.
