What does FYTTE mean in Scrabble?
noun
archaicliterary
A canto or numbered section of a narrative poem or song, especially in medieval English and Scottish verse.
A fytte marked one stage of a long poem the way a chapter marks one stage of a novel, letting a minstrel pause and pick the story up again later. The word appears mostly in the titles of old ballads and romances, where a poem might be printed as "the first fytte" and "the second fytte." It survives today only as a historical term used by scholars and editors of early verse, not in ordinary speech.
How FYTTE is used
Found chiefly in scholarly editions of medieval poetry and ballads; not used in everyday English.
- The ballad was printed in three fyttes, each ending on a cliffhanger.
- Editors numbered every fytte of the old romance for easy reference.
