What does INDITE mean in Scrabble?
verb
archaicliterary
To compose or write something, especially a letter, poem, or other formal piece of writing.
Indite once described the whole creative act of composing a written work, whether a letter, a poem, or a legal document, and it carried a slightly formal or elevated tone even in its own time. Modern English has largely replaced it with plain write or compose, so indite now reads as deliberately old-fashioned or literary rather than as ordinary usage. It should not be confused with the similar-sounding indict, which means to formally accuse someone of a crime and has an entirely different origin and meaning.
How INDITE is used
An archaic and literary word for composing a piece of writing, now used mainly for old-fashioned or humorous effect.
