What does TROVE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A valuable collection of things that have been discovered, gathered or stored, especially one found unexpectedly; most familiar in the phrase treasure trove.
A trove originally referred narrowly to treasure found hidden in the ground with no known owner, a legal category still recognized in some countries under the term treasure trove. Modern English has broadened the word considerably, so writers now describe any rich, unexpected collection as a trove, whether it consists of old letters found in an attic, rare photographs discovered in an archive, or useful information gathered on a single website. Museums and researchers speak of a trove of artifacts or documents when a single discovery yields far more material than expected, emphasizing both the quantity and the value of the find. The word almost always carries a positive, excited tone, suggesting delight at stumbling upon something rich and largely unknown.
