What does GRIPPE mean in Scrabble?
noun
archaic
An old name for influenza, the contagious illness with fever, aches and a streaming cold.
Grippe was the usual word for flu in English from the eighteenth century into the early twentieth, borrowed from French. Writers of that period spoke of an attack of grippe or a winter epidemic of it, and the word turns up often in memoirs and old newspapers. Today people say influenza or simply the flu, so grippe gives a text a dated, period flavour.
