What does TAROT mean in Scrabble?
noun
A pack of cards, traditionally seventy-eight in number, used for fortune-telling and for certain card games.
Tarot began in fifteenth-century Italy purely as a card game called tarocchi, played much like modern trick-taking games, and the connection to fortune-telling only developed centuries later in France. A standard tarot deck keeps four ordinary suits alongside a fifth suit of trump cards, several of which carry symbolic images such as the tower or the wheel. Today most people meet tarot through divination rather than through the original game, which is still played in parts of Europe. The images on a tarot card are read individually and also in combination with the cards laid beside them.
