What does WHENAS mean in Scrabble?
conjunction
archaicpoetic
An old conjunction meaning at the time when, or sometimes whereas.
Whenas links two statements by placing one of them in time, so it works like the plain word when. In older verse it can also carry the sense of while or since, which gives it a slightly argumentative edge. The word is built from when and as, and it has been out of ordinary use for a long time, so a reader meets it mainly in poetry and in translations from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.
