What does DUNNER mean in Scrabble?
noun
archaicrare
A person employed to press debtors persistently for the payment of money owed.
A dunner's job was simply to dun, meaning to make repeated and often insistent demands for payment, whether by letter, visit or public pressure. Shopkeepers and moneylenders once hired dunners specifically to chase overdue accounts, and the word carried a slightly unpleasant, badgering connotation even in its own time. The role has largely been replaced by formal debt-collection agencies and automated reminders, so the word now survives mainly in older writing.
