What does ROSARY mean in Scrabble?
noun
A string of beads used to count prayers, or the set of prayers recited with it.
In the Roman Catholic tradition the rosary is made of five decades of small beads, each decade set off by a larger one, and the worshipper recites a prayer for every bead while thinking about events in the life of Christ. The word also names the devotion itself, so a person can say the rosary without holding any beads. It comes from the Latin for a garland of roses, and an older English sense still means a bed or garden of roses.
How ROSARY is used
Refers both to the physical beads and to the prayer sequence; the old garden sense is now rare.
- Her grandmother kept a worn rosary in the drawer by the bed.
