What does WENCH mean in Scrabble?
noun
archaichistorical
An archaic term for a girl or young woman, especially one of humble or working background.
In older English a wench was simply a young woman or a female servant, without any negative sense attached to the word. Over time wench also picked up a more disrespectful use referring to a promiscuous woman, which is why the plain, older meaning is now confined to historical fiction, medieval reenactment and deliberately old-fashioned or humorous speech. A modern writer who reaches for wench is usually signaling an earlier period rather than describing a real woman today.
