What does ENOSIS mean in Scrabble?
noun
historical
Political union, especially the historical movement to unite Cyprus with Greece.
Enosis comes directly from the Greek word for union, and English borrowed it specifically to name the political movement that sought to join Cyprus to Greece in the twentieth century. Supporters of enosis argued that Greek Cypriots shared language, religion, and history closely enough with Greece to justify formal political unification rather than independence or continued British rule. The movement shaped Cypriot politics for decades and became one of the underlying causes of later conflict on the island. Historians and journalists still use enosis specifically for this Cyprus-Greece movement rather than for unification movements elsewhere.
