What does FRIARY mean in Scrabble?
noun
A building or community where friars live together.
A friary is the home of a group of friars, men who belong to a religious order such as the Franciscans or the Dominicans. Unlike a monastery, where monks traditionally stay in one place, friars were historically more likely to travel and preach among ordinary people. Many English towns still carry a Friary Street or Friary Road marking the site of a medieval house.
