What does ROUP mean in Scrabble?
noun
Scotshistorical
A public sale by auction, especially of farm stock or household goods, as traditionally held in Scotland.
A roup is what the Scots call an auction, most often the kind held on a farm to sell off livestock, tools, and furniture when a tenancy ends or a farmer retires, sometimes called a displenishing roup. An auctioneer cries the bids aloud in front of the gathered buyers, exactly as at any auction, but the word roup keeps its own local flavour in Scottish and northern English speech. The same word can also name an unrelated illness that affects the breathing of poultry.
