What does WONS mean in Scrabble?
verb
archaicdialect
To dwell or live in a particular place; the archaic third person singular form of the verb won, meaning to dwell.
In older English, before the modern verb to win took over the spelling won for its past tense, a separate old verb won meant simply to live or dwell somewhere, and wons was the form used with he, she or it, as in he wons in the glen. This older verb has almost disappeared from the language and now turns up mainly in historical and dialect texts.
