What does TROTH mean in Scrabble?
noun
archaicliterary
One's pledged word or faith, especially a solemn promise of loyalty or fidelity, most familiar today in the phrase to plight one's troth.
Troth once meant simple truth or good faith in everyday Old and Middle English, closely related to the modern word truth itself, before narrowing over time to focus on solemn personal promises. English speakers today meet troth almost exclusively in the fixed phrase plight one's troth, an old-fashioned way of describing a formal pledge of marriage or loyalty between two people. The word survives strongly in traditional wedding vows, older poetry and historical fiction, giving speech a deliberately antique or ceremonial tone. A modern writer who reaches for troth instead of a plainer word such as promise or pledge is almost always aiming for that same solemn, old-fashioned effect.
