What does WEAN mean in Scrabble?
noun
Scotsinformal
A young child, especially in Scottish and Irish English.
A wean is simply a small child, and Scottish or Irish speakers use the word much the way other English speakers might say kid, often warmly, as in our wean or the wean is asleep. It comes from a shortening of wee ane, meaning little one, and is a distinct word rather than just a local spelling of child.
