What does OGDOAD mean in Scrabble?
noun
rare
A Greek-derived word for eight things taken together, used above all in early Christian and Gnostic writing for a group of eight divine powers.
Ogdoad is a learned word built from the Greek for eight, in the same way that decade is built from ten. It is best known from religion and philosophy: the Ogdoad of Hermopolis was a set of eight primeval gods in Egyptian myth, and some early Gnostic writers described an ogdoad of divine powers. Outside those fields it turns up only as a playful or scholarly way of counting eight of anything. Its relatives are the monad, the triad and the decad.
