What does CLEPE mean in Scrabble?
verb
archaic
To call by a particular name; to name or style someone or something.
clepe was an everyday verb in Middle English, used wherever a modern speaker would say call or name, as in a town that men clepe by such a name. The verb largely dropped out of ordinary use after the medieval period, surviving mainly in its past form clept and in quotations from earlier literature. Chaucer and other medieval writers used clepe freely, which is why the word is still recognizable to readers of older English texts.
