What does ROUTH mean in Scrabble?
noun
Scots
Plenty or abundance, especially of food, drink, or money; a generous supply of something.
Routh is a Scots and northern English word carried mainly in older ballads, proverbs, and dialect speech rather than everyday standard English. It describes a supply so ample that want is nowhere in sight, close in feeling to plenty but with a distinct regional flavour. Writers reaching for a folk or historical tone sometimes borrow routh instead of the plainer plenty to keep a Scots voice in the line.
