What does TRULL mean in Scrabble?
noun
archaicoffensive
An archaic and disparaging term for a woman considered disreputable or promiscuous.
Trull turns up mainly in older English writing, including plays and ballads from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, where it was thrown at a woman to brand her as immoral or of low social standing. Writers of the period used it alongside similar insults such as wench and strumpet, all carrying the same mix of moral judgment and contempt for a woman regarded as socially beneath respect. Modern readers meet trull almost exclusively in historical fiction, footnoted classics, or quotation, since the word dropped out of ordinary speech long ago. Because it was always an insult rather than a neutral description, dictionaries flag it as archaic and derogatory rather than as plain old vocabulary.
