What does OEUVRE mean in Scrabble?
noun
formal
The whole body of work produced by a writer, artist or composer over a career.
Oeuvre is borrowed from French, where it simply means work, and English keeps it for the sum of everything one creator has made. Critics speak of the oeuvre when they want to see a single novel or painting as part of a larger pattern. Saying that a piece is typical of the oeuvre claims that it fits the maker's usual themes. The plural is spelled the same way in English, though the French form is oeuvres.
