What does WITTOL mean in Scrabble?
noun
archaic
A man who knows that his wife is unfaithful and puts up with it.
Wittol is an old and scornful term from English drama and satire, where such a husband was a stock figure of fun. The word is built from wit, meaning to know, with an ending borrowed from cuckold, so it stresses that he is aware of the situation and does nothing. Today it survives almost only in historical reading and in deliberately antique prose.
