What does COLONE mean in Scrabble?
noun
archaichistorical
A settler who farms the land, especially in an early colony; a colonist.
Colone comes from the same Latin root, colonus, as the English word colonial, and it once described someone sent out to work newly settled land rather than a native landowner. The term appears mainly in older historical writing about colonization and land tenure, where it distinguished the working settler from officials or investors back home. It is unrelated in meaning to the identically spelled currency name colon, even though the two words are sometimes confused. Today colone survives almost entirely as a word-list entry rather than in everyday historical writing.
