What does ENNEAD mean in Scrabble?
noun
A group or set of nine things, people, or ideas considered together.
Ennead comes from the Greek word for the number nine and is used whenever writers want a single term for a group of exactly nine members. The word is best known from Egyptian mythology, where the Ennead of Heliopolis names a group of nine major deities, but it is also used more generally in philosophy, literature, and mathematics for any set of nine. Because it names a fixed and unusual size of group, ennead has a slightly formal, learned feel compared with an ordinary phrase like a group of nine.
