What does QUINT mean in Scrabble?
noun
informal
Casual American shorthand for a quintuplet, or, in music, an interval spanning a fifth.
Quint is an informal short form of quintuplet, used the way twins are sometimes called by a shorter name in casual talk. It appears mostly in news reports and everyday conversation about multiple births, where the full term quintuplet can feel long-winded. Doctors and researchers still use quintuplet in formal or medical writing, keeping quint for casual reference. The word can also refer, in music theory, to an interval of a fifth, though the multiple-birth sense is by far the more common one in general use.
How QUINT is used
Informal; found in newspapers and conversation about multiple births rather than in medical documents.
- The hospital announced the birth of a quint over the weekend.
