What does WIDDIE mean in Scrabble?
noun
Scots
In Scots, a rope or band, especially one twisted from willow twigs, and by extension a hangman's noose.
The word comes from the same root as withy, the flexible willow shoot that country people once twisted into ties and bindings. Because a rope of that sort was also used for hanging, widdie came to stand for the gallows noose in older Scottish speech and ballads. It is the same word as widdy, and the plural is widdies.
