What does POTTLE mean in Scrabble?
noun
historicalBritish
A former English unit of liquid measure equal to half a gallon; also a small basket used for holding soft fruit.
Old English measures for ale and wine included the pottle, a container or amount equal to four pints, larger than a quart and smaller than a gallon. A completely separate modern sense keeps the same word for a small, cone-shaped basket used to sell strawberries and other soft fruit at market, a container defined by its shape and use rather than by volume. Both senses trace back to the same old root for a small pot, though the drinking measure has faded from use while the fruit basket survives in some greengrocers.
How POTTLE is used
The liquid measure is now historical, found mainly in older texts, while the fruit-basket sense still appears occasionally in British greengrocery.
