What does DIGHT mean in Scrabble?
verb
archaicliterary
To dress, prepare, equip, or adorn something or someone, especially for a ceremony or for battle.
Dight turns up mainly in older verse and translated epic, where a knight is dight in armor before a fight or a hall is dight with banners for a feast. The word is unrelated to modern dye or decorate despite the surface resemblance, coming instead from an old root meaning to arrange or put in order. Writers reaching for a deliberately antique tone sometimes revive it today, but it never survived into ordinary modern speech the way dress and prepare did.
