What does PAGOD mean in Scrabble?
noun
archaic
An older word for a pagoda, an Eastern temple, especially one built as a tall, many-storeyed tapering tower; also, an idol worshipped in such a temple.
Pagod was the everyday English spelling of pagoda in earlier centuries, before the longer form became standard, and travellers' accounts and older poetry still use pagod to describe Asian temples and their carved idols. Beyond the building itself, pagod could also name the statue or image kept inside such a temple, and in old trade records it named a gold coin once minted in southern India, stamped with a temple or deity design. Today pagod survives mainly in older literature and historical writing rather than in ordinary speech.
