What does VASTY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
archaicpoeticliterary
Vast, huge; immense in size or extent.
Vasty is an old, poetic way of saying vast, most familiar from Shakespeare's line about spirits called from "the vasty deep". The word adds an extra, slightly archaic weight to the plainer vast, and it survives today almost entirely in quotation, allusion or deliberately old-fashioned writing. Poets and writers reaching for a grand, sweeping tone sometimes revive vasty for its literary flavour rather than for any difference in meaning from vast. Outside such literary or quoting contexts, the word is essentially unused in everyday English.
