What does ROPERY mean in Scrabble?
noun
historical
A workshop or long covered walk where ropes are made.
Rope makers needed a great length of space to lay strands side by side, so a ropery was often a long, narrow building near a harbour, supplying the sails and rigging of ships. Many old port towns still have a street called Ropery or Ropewalk that marks the spot. Shakespeare also used the word in a playful sense for roguish tricks that deserve a hangman's rope.
