What does CONGE mean in Scrabble?
noun
formalarchaic
Formal permission to leave, or a ceremonious dismissal or farewell.
Conge comes from French conge and was once the standard word for the polite ritual of taking leave from a superior or host, complete with a parting bow. Over time the word also came to describe the act of dismissing someone, often abruptly, from a post or a person's presence. Today conge survives mainly in older literature and in specialized writing on etiquette or architecture, where it can also name a small concave molding.
