What does STRUNT mean in Scrabble?
noun
Scotsarchaic
The short stump left when the tail of an animal, especially a horse or sheep, has been docked.
Strunt names the plain physical result of docking, the shortened stub of tail that remains once the longer part has been cut away, a practice once common with working horses and some sheep breeds. The same word doubles as a verb meaning to dock a tail in this way, so a farmer might strunt a colt's tail before it is put to work. Older Scots writing also uses strunt for strong drink or spirits, a sense familiar from Robert Burns and other Scots poets, and separately for a strut or pompous walk. Because the word covers several older, narrow senses rather than one everyday meaning, it now survives mostly in dialect and historical writing.
