What does PELTRY mean in Scrabble?
noun
archaic
Animal skins with the fur still on them, especially as a trade commodity.
Peltry was the cargo that drove much of the early fur trade in North America, when trappers brought beaver, otter and fox skins to trading posts. It is a collective word, so one speaks of a bale of peltry rather than counting skins one by one. Today the word sounds old-fashioned and is found mainly in historical writing about trapping and commerce.
