What does MULCT mean in Scrabble?
verb
formallegal
To fine someone as a punishment, or to obtain money or property from someone by fraud or deceit.
Mulct covers two related ideas: an official penalty imposed by a court or authority, and a dishonest scheme in which a victim is tricked out of money. Older legal writing favored the first sense, while later usage leaned toward the second, describing swindlers who mulct investors or customers. The word entered English from Latin mulcta, meaning a fine or penalty.
