What does UNKENT mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Scotsarchaic
Not known to anyone; strange or unfamiliar, in the old Scots manner of speaking.
The word is the Scots cousin of unknown, built from the negative prefix un- and the old past participle kent, meaning known. A writer who called a shore or a face unkent was stressing its strangeness, as a stranger would feel it. It turns up in ballads and in poetry that imitates northern speech, and almost never in plain modern prose.
