What does KITHE mean in Scrabble?
verb
archaicScots
To make known, reveal, or show; to become visible or appear.
The verb kithe survives mainly in Scots and older English writing, where it described making a fact or feeling openly visible rather than keeping it hidden. A person might kithe their loyalty through actions rather than words, or a hidden thing might simply kithe itself to view. The word comes from the same root as kith, the old term for familiar or known people and places. Because so few speakers use it today, kithe now appears chiefly in dialect glossaries, ballads and self-consciously old-fashioned prose.
