What does DELICT mean in Scrabble?
noun
legal
A wrongful act that harms another person and entitles the injured party to seek a civil remedy.
Lawyers in Scotland and in systems based on Roman law use delict where English-speaking common law would say tort. The word comes from the Latin delictum, a fault or offence, and a delict is a matter between private parties rather than a crime prosecuted by the state. Outside the courtroom it is rare, though older writers sometimes used it for any moral lapse.
