What does SWITH mean in Scrabble?
adverb
archaicScots
Quickly, promptly, or at once.
Swith survives from older Scots and northern English speech, where it commanded someone to act without delay, as in the phrase gae swith, meaning go at once. Writers who wanted to give dialogue an old-fashioned or regional flavour have kept the word alive in fiction and verse long after it dropped out of everyday speech. Unlike its close relative swift, swith functions only as an adverb describing how an action is carried out, never as a description of the person or thing itself. Modern readers meet swith almost exclusively in historical or dialect writing rather than in ordinary conversation.
How SWITH is used
