What does SALUT mean in Scrabble?
noun
archaicdialect
A toast or salutation drunk to a person's health, or an exclamation of greeting equivalent to hello or cheers.
Salut entered English from French, where it still functions as an everyday greeting, and older English writing sometimes borrowed it directly for a toast raised at the table. In some English-speaking communities with strong French or Caribbean Creole influence, salut survives as a casual greeting between friends. The word is rare in mainstream modern English outside quotation of French speech or deliberately old-fashioned prose.
