What does GEMOT mean in Scrabble?
noun
historical
An assembly or meeting of free men in Anglo-Saxon England, called to discuss local or national matters and settle disputes.
Communities held such a meeting at various levels, from the small local hundred gemot that handled village disputes to the great national witenagemot, where the king's senior advisers gathered to debate law and succession. Because Anglo-Saxon society had no permanent parliament, a gemot served as the main forum where free men could speak, hear judgments, and agree on shared decisions, making it an early ancestor of later English local and national government. The word survives today mainly in historical writing and in place names that once hosted such gatherings.
