What does ENTIA mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
Beings or existing things, especially as discussed in philosophy; the plural of the Latin term ens.
Entia is the Latin plural form used in philosophy to speak of beings or existing things considered abstractly, rather than any particular object. The singular, ens, appears in classic philosophical maxims, most famously in the principle behind Occam's razor, traditionally phrased as entia non sunt multiplicanda praeter necessitatem, meaning entities should not be multiplied beyond necessity. Philosophers writing about metaphysics use entia when discussing categories of existence, distinguishing, for instance, between necessary entia and merely possible ones. Outside philosophical and academic writing the word is essentially unused in English.
