What does DRUID mean in Scrabble?
noun
historical
A priest, teacher, or judge among the ancient Celtic peoples of Gaul and Britain, associated with religious ritual and oral learning.
A druid held a position of great authority in Celtic society, acting as a religious leader, a legal judge, and a keeper of oral tradition, since Celtic learning was passed down by memory rather than by writing. Roman writers such as Julius Caesar described the druid class as spending years in training, memorizing verses, and presiding over sacrifices and ceremonies in sacred groves. Modern knowledge of the historical druid comes mainly from these outside Roman accounts, since the druids themselves left few written records of their own.
