What does ENVOI mean in Scrabble?
noun
literarypoetic
A short concluding stanza or passage that closes a poem, especially a ballade, often addressed directly to a reader or patron.
A poet uses an envoi to sum up a poem's theme, offer a final word of advice, or dedicate the piece to a particular person, and it usually repeats the refrain or rhyme scheme of the stanzas before it. The form comes from medieval French poetry, where the envoi literally sent the poem on its way to its intended reader. Beyond strict verse forms, writers sometimes borrow the word loosely for any brief closing statement at the end of a longer literary work.
