What does CURACY mean in Scrabble?
noun
The post of a curate, an assistant clergyman in a parish.
In the Church of England a curacy is the first job a newly ordained priest takes, working under a vicar or rector. It usually lasts a few years and was once poorly paid, which is why it appears so often in nineteenth-century novels about hard-up young clergymen. The word can also mean the length of time a person holds that post.
