What does FRORY mean in Scrabble?
adjective

Frozen, or stiff and covered with a frost-like coating from the cold.
Frory belongs to a small family of old words built on frore, the poetic term for frost, and it once described anything left brittle or crusted by extreme cold, from frozen ground to a frosted beard. English replaced it with plain frozen long ago, leaving frory to survive only in verse and old glossaries.
