What does WITCH mean in Scrabble?
noun
A person, traditionally a woman, believed to practice magic, especially through supernatural or evil powers.
In folklore and fairy tales a witch commands spells, potions and familiar spirits, and the figure ranges from the fearsome villain of old stories to a comic Halloween costume today. Historically the accusation of being a witch led to real trials and executions in Europe and colonial America, so the word also carries heavy historical weight beyond the fantasy sense. As a verb, to witch means to bewitch or charm someone, a use now mostly limited to older or literary writing.
