What does UNDINE mean in Scrabble?
noun
literary
A female spirit believed in folklore to live in water, imagined in human female form.
Undines appear in European folklore and later literary tales as beings tied to lakes, rivers or the sea, similar to nymphs but specifically associated with water rather than trees or mountains. In one well-known story an undine can only gain an immortal soul by marrying a mortal man, which gives the word a strong association with romantic and tragic tales. The spelling ondine is also used for the same figure, especially in French-influenced writing.
