What does FRORE mean in Scrabble?
adjective
archaicpoeticliterary
Frozen, or intensely cold and frosty; an archaic and chiefly poetic word for bitterly cold conditions.
Poets and older writers reached for frore when ordinary words like cold or frosty felt too plain for describing a truly bitter chill, especially in scenes of winter, arctic landscapes, or the depths of night. The word largely dropped out of everyday speech centuries ago, surviving mainly in verse and in deliberately old-fashioned or atmospheric prose. Related archaic forms such as froren and frorn share the same root and the same sense of being locked hard by cold. A modern reader meeting frore in a poem should picture something closer to bitterly, deeply frozen than to a light morning frost.
