What does GERENT mean in Scrabble?
noun
archaic
A person who rules, manages, or has charge of something.
Gerent comes from the Latin gerere, to carry on or manage, the same root that gives English words like vicegerent, someone who governs in another's place. On its own gerent is rarely met outside older or formal writing, where it names a ruler or administrator without specifying a particular office. The word survives mostly in historical and legal contexts describing figures who held authority over a region or estate. Because it sounds close to related words such as regent, gerent is sometimes used loosely to mean anyone who effectively runs an affair, even without a formal title.
