What does DRAVE mean in Scrabble?
verb
archaic
To drive; drave is an old past-tense form of that verb, found in older and biblical English, corresponding to modern drove.
Drave appears in the King James Bible and in older English poetry and prose, where modern readers would expect drove instead. Writers reaching for a deliberately antique or scriptural tone sometimes still borrow drave to give a sentence an older, formal ring. Outside such deliberately archaic writing, the form has fallen completely out of ordinary use.
