What does OPHITE mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
A green, snake-patterned rock such as serpentine, or a member of an early Gnostic sect that revered the serpent.
The name comes from the Greek word for serpent, and both senses draw on that image: the rock has a mottled surface like a snake skin, and the sect honoured the serpent as a bearer of hidden knowledge. Geologists used the rock sense for decorative stones in the past, while historians of early Christianity use the other. Context makes clear which sense of ophite is meant.
