What does MAKAR mean in Scrabble?
noun
Scotsliterary
A poet, especially one of the Scottish poets of the late medieval and early modern period.
The word makar comes from an old Scots sense of maker, treating a poet as someone who literally makes verse the way a craftsman makes an object. Literary history uses makar most often for a group of Scottish court poets active from the fifteenth century onward, writers whose work shaped early Scots literature. Scotland later revived the title formally, naming an official Scots Makar to serve as a national poet in the manner of an English poet laureate.
