What does LIBLAB mean in Scrabble?
noun
historical
A member of the British Liberal party in the late nineteenth century who also backed the trade-union cause.
The word is a blend of Liberal and Labour. In the 1870s and 1880s the first working men elected to the House of Commons sat as liblabs, because no separate Labour party yet existed. The term faded once the Labour Party was founded and drew those voters away from the Liberals.
