What does LUNET mean in Scrabble?
noun
literaryrare
A small moon or moon-like satellite, especially in literary or older use.
A lunet is a modest, small-looking moon, the kind of word a poet reaches for instead of the plain term moon when a scene calls for something gentler. It shows up mainly in verse and older prose, where a faint lunet drifting above a hillside sets a quiet, wistful mood. It is closely related to the crescent-shaped figure known as a lunette, used in architecture and heraldry, though the two words now live in different settings. Few writers reach for a lunet outside poetry and antique texts today.
