What does UNLAID mean in Scrabble?
adjective
archaicliterary
Not laid, put in place, or settled to rest.
Unlaid can describe an egg that a hen has not yet laid, a corpse that has not been laid out for burial, or, in older ghost stories, a restless spirit that has not been laid to rest. The word is a negation of laid, the past form of lay, and this sense should not be confused with the unrelated nautical verb unlay, which means to untwist a rope. Its use today is almost entirely literary or archaic.
