What does TEAPOY mean in Scrabble?
noun
historical
A small ornamental table or stand, usually with three legs, once used for holding tea things.
The word reached English from Hindi in the colonial period, and the earliest teapoys were simply small tripod tables. In Victorian drawing rooms the name was given to a table with a lidded box on top, fitted with compartments for different kinds of tea, which the lady of the house kept under lock and key because tea was costly. Because of that, antique dealers still use teapoy for pieces of this type.
