What does TRET mean in Scrabble?
noun
historical
An allowance of extra weight formerly given to a buyer to make up for waste or spoilage during the transport of goods.
In old English trade, a merchant selling goods by weight would grant the buyer a tret, a small additional allowance beyond the true weight, on the assumption that some of the goods were lost or spoiled on the way. The practice, often paired with the related allowance called tare, disappeared once modern weighing and packaging made such deductions unnecessary.
