What does DECURY mean in Scrabble?
noun
historical
In ancient Rome, a group of ten soldiers or citizens organised as one unit.
The decury was the smallest division in a Roman century, and it was led by an officer called a decurion. The same word was used for groups of ten in civil life, such as panels of jurors and guilds. Its root is the Latin word for ten, which also gives us decade and decimal. Today it is found only in books on Roman history and in specialised word lists.
