What does FEY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Strange in an otherworldly way; not quite of this world.
Fey has drifted a long way from where it began: in Scots it meant fated to die, and the strangeness was the sign of that rather than the whole of it. The modern sense kept the oddness and dropped the doom, which is why the word now sounds decorative where it once sounded frightening.
