What does REGIUS mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Belonging to or granted by a king, most often describing a university professorship founded by royal endowment.
Regius survives in English chiefly in the title Regius Professor, given to a small number of chairs at British universities that were established or are still supported by the reigning monarch rather than by private donors. Holding a regius chair traditionally carries extra prestige, since the appointment is made or confirmed by the Crown. Outside this academic use, regius simply means royal or kingly, drawn directly from the Latin word for king.
