What does DONNE mean in Scrabble?
noun
literary
In literary discussion, a given fact, premise, or situation taken as the starting point for a work of fiction.
A writer's donne is whatever the story assumes from the outset without needing to justify it, such as a talking animal in a fable or a specific historical setting in a novel, leaving the actual plot to grow from that starting point. Critics use the word to separate what an author simply asks a reader to accept from what the author must earn through the writing itself. The spelling donne, without an accent, is the form used where the borrowed French donnée cannot easily be typed or spelled with its accent mark.
