What does CELT mean in Scrabble?
noun
historical
A prehistoric tool or weapon shaped like an axe head, made of chipped or polished stone, or later of bronze.
Archaeologists use celt for the axe-like blades found in Stone Age and Bronze Age sites across Europe and elsewhere; the tool was fitted with a wooden handle and used for cutting or as a weapon. Written with a small letter it names the object, not the people; the ancient European peoples are named with a capital letter and are a separate, unrelated sense of the spelling.
