What does GANTLOPES mean in Scrabble?
noun
historical
Occasions of a punishment in which a person was driven between two lines of men who struck at them, in the plural.
Running that punishment was a military business, and gantlopes is the older shape of the phrase everybody now spells another way. The change happened because the two words sounded alike and one of them was already familiar, so the glove swallowed the punishment and left the original only where an editor has kept it.
