What does PARLE mean in Scrabble?
verb
archaicdialect
To talk or converse, especially to discuss terms with an opponent or enemy.
Parle is an older form connected to the same French root as parley, and for centuries the two words were used almost interchangeably for holding a discussion, particularly one aimed at reaching a truce. Standard modern English kept parley for that specific negotiating sense and let the plain verb parle fade into archaic and regional use. Today the word turns up mainly in older texts, historical fiction and dialect speech rather than everyday conversation. Its noun sense, meaning a conversation or exchange of talk, is equally dated.
