What does GHAUT mean in Scrabble?
noun
historicalIndian English
A flight of steps or a paved way leading down to a river, or, in a different use, a pass through a range of mountains.
A ghaut is best known from descriptions of Indian riverside towns, where wide stone steps called a ghaut lead crowds down to the water for bathing, washing, and cremation ceremonies. The same word, used of hill country rather than a riverbank, names a gap or pass that a road or path follows through a mountain range. Ghaut is simply an older spelling of ghat, and both forms appear side by side in travel writing and colonial-era accounts.
