What does MONDE mean in Scrabble?
noun
literary
The fashionable or high society of a particular place or time; the world of wealth, taste, and social prominence, as opposed to ordinary society.
Monde is simply the French word for world, but English writers borrowed it specifically to name a narrower world, the fashionable, wealthy circle whose parties, opinions, and gossip once set the tone for polite society. It appears most often inside two set phrases: le beau monde, literally the beautiful world, meaning fashionable high society, and le demi-monde, the half-world of people, historically often courtesans, who lived on its fringes without full acceptance into it. Nineteenth-century novelists used monde and its compounds to sketch the strict, often unspoken rules dividing who belonged to polite society and who did not. The word still turns up in writing about fashion, high society, and period fiction, usually carrying a slightly knowing, old-fashioned flavour.
