What does FANTOM mean in Scrabble?
noun
archaic
An old spelling of phantom, meaning a ghost or something that seems real but is not.
Fantom turns up in older English writing for an apparition or an illusion, and it is the spelling that stood closest to the French fantosme from which the word came. The modern spelling with ph was later restored to match the Greek source. Today the form fantom is found in old texts, in word lists, and occasionally as a deliberate stylistic choice.
