What does COYED mean in Scrabble?
verb
archaic
To have caressed or coaxed someone gently, an old sense unrelated to the modern adjective coy.
Before coy settled into meaning shy or pretending to be shy, it also worked as a verb for stroking or soothing a person or animal into calm. A writer who coyed a horse was gentling it, not flattering it. That verb sense faded, and only the adjective survived into ordinary speech.
