What does PACHA mean in Scrabble?
noun
historical
A variant spelling of pasha, a title of high rank formerly given to military and civil officials in the Ottoman Empire.
A pacha ranked among the most senior officials in the Ottoman administration, governing a province or commanding an army on behalf of the sultan. Older English travel writing and translations from French and Turkish sources often used the spelling pacha where later texts settled on pasha. The rank came with wide local power, and a pacha was addressed with considerable ceremony by those under his authority. The title disappeared with the fall of the Ottoman Empire, so the word now belongs to history rather than to any current office.
