What does LETTED mean in Scrabble?
verb
archaic
To have hindered, obstructed, or prevented someone from doing something, the regular past tense of the old verb let in its now obsolete sense of hinder.
English once had two separate verbs spelled let: one meant to allow, with an irregular past tense that stayed let, and the other meant to hinder or obstruct, with a regular past tense spelled letted. Older writers used letted where a modern speaker would say hindered or prevented, as when nothing letted him from leaving described no obstacle standing in his way. The obstructing sense of let survives today mainly in the legal phrase without let or hindrance, and letted itself now appears almost only in older texts and quotations from them.
