What does SOPHY mean in Scrabble?
noun
historicalarchaic
An old title once given in English to the Shah, the ruling monarch of Persia.
Sophy comes from the name of the Safavid dynasty that ruled Persia from the sixteenth century, and English writers of that period used sophy as a general title for whoever held the Persian throne, much as tsar was used for a Russian ruler. Writers of that era mention the sophy when describing distant, powerful courts, and the word appears in older English literature far more often than in any modern text. Because Persia is now Iran and the monarchy no longer exists, sophy has passed out of ordinary use and survives chiefly in historical writing and in word games. It is not the name of one person, but a title that could apply to a succession of rulers.
