What does DONNEE mean in Scrabble?
noun
literaryrare
The basic facts, assumptions, or starting premise that a story or argument builds upon.
Donnee comes from the French word for given, and in literary criticism it names the given material a writer starts from, such as the setting, characters, or central situation, before shaping it into a finished narrative. Critics use the term to separate what an author was handed as raw material from what the author did with it artistically. The word stays largely confined to literary and academic writing about fiction and rarely appears in ordinary conversation.
