What does HIGHT mean in Scrabble?
verb
archaic
To be called or named; used in old and archaic English chiefly in the past tense.
A knight in an old romance might be introduced as one "hight Gawain", meaning he was named or called Gawain, and the verb hight survived long after most of its related forms disappeared from English. Unlike ordinary verbs, hight kept the same shape whether describing past or present naming, which makes it feel unusual to modern readers. Poets revived hight for centuries after it had left everyday speech to give verse an antique flavor.
