What does THORP mean in Scrabble?
noun
archaicBritish
An old word for a small village or hamlet, especially a cluster of houses in the countryside.
Thorp names a tiny rural settlement, smaller and less formal than a proper village, and the word once appeared throughout everyday English before hamlet and village largely replaced it. Its influence survives most visibly in English place names ending in -thorpe, many of which began as exactly this sort of scattered farmstead settlement. Writers using thorp today are usually reaching for an old-fashioned or literary tone rather than describing a modern settlement in ordinary conversation. The word is closely related to thorpe, an alternative spelling found in the same older sources.
