What does CONSOL mean in Scrabble?
noun
historicalBritish
A British government bond that paid interest indefinitely and had no fixed date for repaying the original loan.
Consol is a shortened form of consolidated annuity, a type of bond the British government issued to combine several older debts into one instrument. Unlike ordinary bonds, a consol never matured, so investors simply collected interest payments year after year, generation after generation. The government created consols in the eighteenth century and only phased them out in the twenty-first, making the word a fixture of British financial history and Victorian literature. Economists still use consol as shorthand in discussions of long-term or theoretically infinite bonds.
