What does SOREL mean in Scrabble?
noun
archaichistorical
A young fallow deer, especially a buck in its third year, in the traditional language of hunting.
English hunting once had a precise set of names for a deer at each stage of its growth, and sorel named a buck old enough to have grown a small set of antlers but not yet a mature stag. The term sat between pricket, for a younger buck, and sore, for one a year older, in this traditional sequence. Such words are now found almost only in old hunting manuals and glossaries rather than in modern descriptions of deer.
