What does RENTE mean in Scrabble?
noun
formaltechnical
A fixed annual income derived from an investment, especially from French government bonds.
Rente entered English from French, where it describes the regular payment an investor receives from holding government or state bonds rather than income earned through work. Nineteenth-century novels often mention characters who live comfortably on their rente, meaning they survive on interest rather than a salary. The word still appears in English discussions of French finance and in historical or literary writing set in France.
How RENTE is used
Formal and somewhat specialised, used chiefly in discussions of French government bonds or in literary references to living on such income.
