What does FUGLE mean in Scrabble?
verb
archaic
To act as a model or guide whose movements others are meant to imitate, especially as a soldier once did while demonstrating drill in front of a regiment.
A fugleman stood in front of a line of soldiers and performed each drill movement first so the rest of the unit could copy him exactly, and to fugle meant to serve in that role. The word later loosened to cover anyone who leads by setting a visible example for others to follow, in or out of the army. It is rare today and turns up mostly in older writing about drill, discipline, or leadership by demonstration.
