What does RECEPT mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
A mental image or idea built up in the mind from many similar experiences of the same kind of thing.
The term was coined by the Victorian psychologist George Romanes, who placed it in a ladder of mental development between a simple percept and a full abstract concept. On his account, an animal could form a recept of, say, a dog, without having the words to think about dogs in general. Today it is rare and survives mostly in the history of psychology.
