What does INFARE mean in Scrabble?
noun
archaicregional
A party given to welcome a newly married couple into their home.
Infare is an old word for the feast held when a bride was brought to her new house, and it lingered in rural dialects of Scotland, northern England and the American South. Its parts are "in" and the old "fare" meaning a going, so it literally describes the going in. Modern English has the term housewarming, which covers a similar custom without the wedding.
