What does TORC mean in Scrabble?
noun
A stiff neck ring of twisted metal, worn in the ancient Celtic world.
A torc opens at the front and is sprung onto the throat rather than fastened, which is why so many survive whole — there is nothing on them to break. Gold ones were rank made visible, and Roman writers describe Celtic warriors going into battle wearing nothing else, which says as much about Roman writers as about anybody's dress.
