What does TYTHE mean in Scrabble?
noun
archaic
An older spelling of tithe, a tenth part of produce or income paid as a tax or church due.
A tythe was one part in ten of a farmer's harvest or a household's income, handed over each year to support the church or, in some periods, the crown. The obligation shaped rural life for centuries in England, and disputes over what counted as tythe produce filled many old court records. The spelling with a y is simply an earlier way of writing the same word, common in older documents and place names such as Tythe Barn. Modern writing almost always uses the newer spelling instead, so tythe now signals an old text or a deliberately antique style.
