What does HEMPEN mean in Scrabble?
adjective
literary
Made of hemp, the tough plant fibre used for rope and coarse cloth.
Hempen is the old-fashioned adjective for anything woven, twisted or spun from hemp fibre. It turns up most often in descriptions of ropes, cords, sacks and rough homespun clothing in older fiction. Modern writers usually say simply made of hemp, so the word now gives a sentence a slightly antique flavour.
