What does LIBRI mean in Scrabble?
noun
literary
The Latin plural of liber ("book"), retained in English mainly in library and bibliographic contexts to refer to a collection of book volumes.
Because liber itself never became an everyday English word, its plural libri appears almost exclusively in Latin book titles, such as a work described as libri tres, meaning three books, or in scholarly writing about old manuscripts and printed volumes. Librarians and bibliographers use the term when cataloguing multi-volume Latin works or describing the surviving books of a historical collection. The word shares its root with the everyday English word library, which ultimately comes from the same Latin family.
