What does UNCOY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
rarearchaic
Not coy; direct, open and unreserved in manner, without shyness or affectation.
Uncoy simply reverses the sense of coy, describing someone who speaks and behaves plainly rather than with studied shyness or teasing reluctance. It is formed in the same straightforward way as many old un- adjectives, by adding the negative prefix to an existing word rather than by borrowing a separate root. The word is rare today and turns up mostly in older or literary writing, where a more common phrase such as not coy or direct would usually replace it in modern prose. Even in its own time uncoy never became as widely used as coy itself, and it has largely faded from ordinary vocabulary.
How UNCOY is used
Rare and old-fashioned, found mainly in older literary writing rather than in modern everyday speech.
