What does TOLEDO mean in Scrabble?
noun
historicalliterary
A finely made sword or sword blade of the kind once forged in Toledo, Spain.
Toledo blades earned a reputation across Europe from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries for their strength and fine temper, and the city's name eventually became a stand-alone word for that quality of steel. A toledo did not need to be made in Toledo at all by the time the word settled into general use; it simply meant a sword worthy of that reputation. The term appears mostly in older writing about swordsmanship and antique weapons.
