What does SOKOL mean in Scrabble?
noun
historical
A member of a Slavic gymnastic and physical-culture movement, or a local branch of it, founded in the nineteenth century to promote fitness and national spirit.
Sokol, meaning falcon in Czech, began in Prague in the 1860s as a movement combining gymnastics, mass displays and a strong sense of national and civic pride among Slavic peoples. Local sokol clubs spread across Bohemia and neighbouring lands, training members in disciplined group exercise and organising large public festivals of coordinated movement. Written with a small letter, the word can describe an ordinary member or branch of the movement, distinct from the capitalised name of the organisation itself.
