What does SERRY mean in Scrabble?
verb

To press or crowd closely together, especially soldiers standing shoulder to shoulder in formation.
To serry troops was once a specific way of saying that soldiers were packed tightly together in a close, dense formation before battle. The word survives mainly in older military and literary writing rather than in modern speech, where phrases like close ranks or crowd together have largely taken its place. Its related adjective, serried, is far more common today, as in the phrase serried ranks describing tightly packed rows of soldiers or objects. Both serry and serried share the same picture of things pressed close with little space between them.
