What does VENGE mean in Scrabble?
verb
archaic
To avenge; to take revenge for a wrong or injury.
To venge someone or something meant to punish a wrong done to them, the same basic idea carried today by the more familiar words avenge and revenge, both of which grew out of venge by adding a prefix. Shakespeare and other early English writers used venge freely, but later English speakers largely dropped the plain form in favour of its prefixed descendants. Modern readers mostly meet venge in older literature, poetry, or writing that deliberately imitates an earlier style.
