What does FELONY mean in Scrabble?
noun
legal
A serious crime, such as murder, robbery or arson, that carries a heavier penalty than a misdemeanor.
In the United States a felony is usually punishable by more than a year in prison, and a conviction can cost a person the right to vote or to own a firearm. English law dropped the formal split between felony and lesser offences in 1967, but the term remains familiar from American courts and films. The word came into English from Old French in the Middle Ages and once covered treachery against a lord.
