What does RONDE mean in Scrabble?
noun
historical
A round dance in which the dancers move together in a circle, or a rounded style of handwriting once used in formal documents.
A ronde is a French dance figure built around joined hands and a steady turning path, a pattern once common at rural gatherings and in courtly entertainment across France. The identical French word, from a root that simply means round, was later attached to a very different craft: a formal lettering style prized by engravers and legal clerks for its bold, curved uprights. Beyond the shared idea of curvature, the dance and the script have no real connection, one belonging to the feet and the other to the pen. Today a ronde is mentioned chiefly in specialist accounts of early European dance and in histories of ornamental handwriting.
