What does SABBAT mean in Scrabble?

historical
A secret midnight gathering of witches and demons, as imagined in medieval and early modern European belief.
The sabbat belongs to the folklore of the witch hunts, when accusers claimed that witches met at night to dance, feast and worship the Devil. Most of what was said about the sabbat came out of forced confessions and demonological treatises, not from anything observed. The word is spelled like the weekly day of rest but is a separate sense, and it often appears with a capital letter in books on witchcraft.
