What does STURT mean in Scrabble?
noun
Scotsdialectarchaic
Trouble, disturbance, strife, or vexation, especially in the traditional pairing sturt and strife.
Sturt is an old Scots word for the kind of trouble or quarrelling that unsettles a household or a community, and it survives today almost entirely in the fixed phrase sturt and strife, meaning ongoing conflict and upset. A person described as living without sturt is living free of trouble and disturbance. The word once had wider currency in northern English as well, but it has narrowed over time to Scots usage and to writers reaching for older, regional vocabulary. It is related to an old verb meaning to trouble or vex someone.
