What does EMPERY mean in Scrabble?
noun
archaicliterary
Absolute rule or sovereign power over a large realm; the dominion of an emperor.
Empery turns up in old poetry and drama, where it stands for the full authority of a crown, often over several lands at once. It is a close cousin of the word empire, from the same Latin root meaning to command. Modern writers seldom choose it unless they want a deliberately grand or antique tone. The ending is the same one found in words like sorcery and mastery, giving the sense of a realm of command.
