What does GALLIC mean in Scrabble?
adjective
literary
Relating to Gaul or to France and its people, or to the character often attributed to them.
Gallic comes from Gallia, the Latin name for the land of the ancient Gauls, and it can point either to that ancient region or to modern France. Writers like it when they want a hint of style: a Gallic shrug or Gallic charm suggests something distinctly French. In chemistry the same spelling appears in gallic acid, a compound first obtained from oak galls, which is a separate line of descent from the word for Gaul.
