What does ELOIN mean in Scrabble?
verb
legalarchaic
To remove or take something to a distance, especially to place it beyond the reach or jurisdiction of a court.
Eloin names the legal act of deliberately moving property, or occasionally a person, out of the reach of a court order or legal process, such as hiding goods before a seizure. Older general usage applied it more broadly to removing anything to a distant place, without any legal implication at all. The word derives from the same French root as the modern English eloign, and the two spellings are used interchangeably in older legal writing. Today eloin survives mainly in legal dictionaries and historical texts rather than in ordinary conversation.
