What does CRONE mean in Scrabble?
noun
An old woman, especially one portrayed as withered, ugly, or witch-like in appearance.
Fairy tales and folklore often cast a crone as a mysterious figure living alone in the woods, sometimes wicked and sometimes secretly wise or kind beneath a frightening appearance. In modern fantasy fiction a crone is often reworked into a wise elder rather than a purely sinister figure, softening the word's originally harsh tone. It comes from an old word for carrion or a worn-out ewe, reflecting how unflattering the term once was.
