What does TITHE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A tenth part of one's income, produce or profit, traditionally given as a contribution to support a church, or, more generally, any obligatory or customary levy of that kind.
Historically, many Christian communities required a tithe from members, typically one tenth of their annual harvest, income or livestock, to support the local church and its clergy. Some churches still ask members to tithe voluntarily today, treating the tenth-part contribution as a matter of personal faith and commitment rather than a legal requirement. Medieval English law once enforced tithes much like a tax, and disputes over unpaid tithes filled many old court records, occasionally causing serious friction between landowners and the church. Writers also use tithe more loosely for any fixed, customary share taken from a larger whole, extending the word well beyond its strictly religious origins.
