What does INCANT mean in Scrabble?
verb
rareliterary
To utter or chant words as a ritual formula, as in casting a spell.
Incant is the verb hiding inside the far more common noun incantation, and speakers reach for it only when they want the action named directly rather than described. Fantasy and folklore writing favours it for a witch, priest, or magician working a spell aloud, while everyday English almost always prefers chant, recite, or the noun incantation itself. The word derives from the Latin incantare, built on the same root as enchant, which explains why both carry a faint suggestion of magic.
