What does DROIT mean in Scrabble?
noun
legal
A droit is a legal right, especially a fee, due or privilege that a person or authority is entitled to claim.
Droit entered English from French law and survives mainly in set legal phrases, such as harbour droits owed to a port authority or the historical droit de seigneur once claimed by feudal lords. English law also once used droits of admiralty for goods and ships that the Crown could claim under maritime law. Outside these fixed legal expressions, ordinary English speakers rarely use droit on its own, unlike the everyday word right that replaced it in general use.

Rare and technical; found chiefly in legal and historical writing, often inside fixed phrases like droits of admiralty.
