What does SOLDO mean in Scrabble?
noun
historical
A former small Italian coin, worth one twentieth of a lira.
A soldo functioned as ordinary pocket change before Italy replaced its old money with the euro, doing roughly the work a cent or a penny does today. Its name comes from the same root as soldier, since medieval fighters were originally paid with this currency, a link that also lies behind the word salary. In everyday speech across Italy the term eventually came to stand for any trifling amount, much as an English speaker might say without a penny.
