What does KRATER mean in Scrabble?
noun
historical
A large ancient Greek bowl with a wide mouth and two handles, used for mixing wine with water.
At a Greek banquet the krater stood in the middle of the room, and the host filled it with wine and water in the proportion he chose. Servers then dipped cups or ladles into it and carried the mixture to the guests. Painted examples are among the best-known objects of ancient pottery, and several shapes are named after their form, such as the column krater and the bell krater. The word is the Greek source of English crater, which first meant a bowl-shaped hollow.
