What does PIGHT mean in Scrabble?
adjective
archaic
Fixed, set up, or firmly resolved, describing something planted in place or a mind made up.
Pight grew out of an old past form of pitch, but by the time of Malory and other medieval writers it had settled into its own use as a plain adjective. A camp that was pight stood already raised and staked down; a will that was pight would not be turned aside by argument. Neither sense needs the verb pitch at all in the sentence where pight appears.
