What does WADSET mean in Scrabble?
noun
Scotslegal
In Scots law, a mortgage in which land is handed over to the lender as security for a loan.
In a wadset the borrower gave the creditor the use of the land until the debt was repaid, and the right to take it back was called redemption. The word is built from the old Scots wad, meaning a pledge, and set. It also works as a verb meaning to pledge land in this way, though the noun is the form met most often in legal history.
