What does SENNET mean in Scrabble?
noun
archaic
A trumpet or cornet call used as a stage direction to signal the ceremonial entrance or exit of a character.
Sennet is best known from the stage directions of Elizabethan drama, where editors printed the word in the margin whenever a formal procession needed a fanfare to announce it. Shakespeare's printed plays use sennet dozens of times across the history plays and tragedies, always marking pageantry rather than ordinary movement on stage. The exact origin of the term is uncertain, and some editors link it to the older word signet, meaning a signal. Modern productions still follow the direction, even though audiences rarely notice the word itself in the script.
