What does MOSTE mean in Scrabble?
verb
archaic
To be obliged or bound to, in an archaic form of the verb must, common in Middle English.
Where a modern writer would put must, an older text often has moste instead, as when Chaucer wrote that a character moste do a thing out of duty or necessity. The form belongs to Middle English grammar and dropped out of ordinary use long before Modern English settled on must, so a reader today meets moste almost exclusively in quoted or reprinted medieval verse.
How MOSTE is used
Archaic; encountered in Middle English texts and their modern quotation, not in current speech.
