What does CURST mean in Scrabble?
adjective
archaicliterary
Ill-tempered, shrewish, or bad-natured; also an old past form of curse, meaning cursed.
Older English writers used curst to describe a person, often a quarrelsome or sharp-tongued one, who was difficult to live with, a sense familiar from older comic plays about a curst wife who must be tamed. The same spelling also served as the old past tense and past participle of curse, so a curst object was simply one that had been cursed. Both uses have faded from everyday English and now appear mainly in older literature or writing that deliberately imitates an earlier style.
