What does REGENT mean in Scrabble?
noun
A person who governs a kingdom or state in place of a monarch who is too young, absent, or unable to rule.
A regent typically steps in when an heir to the throne is still a child, when the monarch is abroad, or when illness prevents the ruler from governing directly, and the arrangement ends once the rightful monarch is able to rule alone. Regents have included queens acting for young sons, close relatives, and appointed councils, and the practice has appeared in monarchies throughout history. The word is also used, in a looser sense, for a member of the governing board of some universities.
