What does REGINA mean in Scrabble?
noun
legalformal
The reigning queen, especially as used in the formal titles of legal cases brought in her name, such as Regina versus Jones.
Regina is Latin for queen, and English law in several Commonwealth countries borrowed the word to name the Crown as a party in criminal prosecutions whenever a queen reigns, appearing in case titles such as Regina v. Smith. In such titles the term stands for the state itself rather than for any particular woman, and the equivalent word Rex replaces it as soon as a king reigns instead. Outside law, regina occasionally turns up in formal or heraldic writing simply to mean queen.
