What does OUPHE mean in Scrabble?
noun
archaicliteraryrare
An archaic word for an elf or goblin, especially a mischievous woodland spirit; an old form related to the modern word oaf.
Ouphe belongs to an old family of words for small, otherworldly beings, and it appears in Shakespeare and other early writers describing fairies and elves that haunt woods and moonlit places. Over time the same word drifted in meaning, giving rise to oaf, which now describes a clumsy or foolish person rather than a supernatural one. Because ouphe fell out of ordinary use centuries ago, it survives mainly in older poetry and in writing that deliberately imitates archaic English.
