What does SPAE mean in Scrabble?
verb
Scotsarchaic
To foretell or divine future events, especially by supernatural means.
Spae comes from an old Scandinavian root and was long used in Scots and northern English for foretelling the future, often through fortune telling, dreams or omens, giving rise to the old term spae-wife for a female fortune teller. It survives mainly in older Scots writing and in words derived from it rather than in ordinary modern speech.
