What does FRITH mean in Scrabble?
noun
Scotsregional
A narrow inlet of the sea or the mouth of a river opening into the sea, the same word as firth; also, an older term for a stretch of woodland or a weir built to trap fish.
Frith is an older spelling of firth, the word used in Scotland for a long, narrow arm of the sea where a river meets open water, such as the well-known Firth of Forth. Older writing also used frith for a patch of woodland or a small enclosed piece of ground, a sense now mostly forgotten outside historical dictionaries. A third, more technical use named a kind of weir, a fence-like barrier built across a stream to trap fish as the water flowed through. Today frith survives mainly as a variant spelling of firth in geography and older regional writing rather than in everyday speech.
