What does FREMD mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Scotsarchaic
Foreign, unfamiliar, or estranged; distant or unkind in manner, as toward someone no longer treated as family or friend.
Fremd is an old Scots and northern English word describing something or someone foreign, strange, or not one's own, related to the German word for foreign and set in older speech as the opposite of friend. It can describe an unfamiliar place, a stranger among a group, or a person who has grown cold and distant toward those close to them. Older Scots proverbs sometimes set fremd against kin or friend, contrasting outsiders with people bound by blood or affection. The word has mostly dropped out of everyday Scots speech but still appears in dialect writing and discussions of older vocabulary.
