What does SWAMY mean in Scrabble?
noun
rare
A Hindu religious teacher, holy man, or spiritual leader; a less common spelling of swami.
Swamy is a variant spelling of the more familiar swami, a Sanskrit-derived title of respect given to a Hindu spiritual teacher or the head of a religious order. Such a person is addressed as swamy by followers as a mark of honour, similar to the way a monk might be addressed as father in other traditions. The word entered English through contact with India, and while swami remains the standard form in most dictionaries, swamy still appears in personal names, temple titles and some regional spellings. Because the word names a role rather than a specific person, it can refer to many different individuals across different religious communities.
