What does SEWAR mean in Scrabble?
noun
archaichistorical
An officer in a medieval great household who supervised the serving of dishes and tasted food before it reached the table.
A sewar stood near the high table and directed the order in which dishes reached the diners, tasting food before it was served to guard against poison. The role carried real status in a noble household, since a sewar needed to know etiquette, seating, and the proper sequence of courses. The office faded away as household service became less ceremonial in later centuries.
