What does HARLOT mean in Scrabble?
noun
archaicliterary
An old-fashioned word for a woman who has sex for money.
Harlot is mostly met today in the Bible and in historical writing, where it carries a strong moral judgement. Its history is curious, since in early English it meant a rogue or vagabond of either sex, and only later narrowed to its present sense. A modern writer would normally choose a more neutral term, and harlot now sounds severe and dated.
