What does WRIGHT mean in Scrabble?
noun
archaic
A person who builds or repairs something, usually found as the last part of a compound.
On its own, wright is now rare, but it lives on inside the names of old trades: a wheelwright made wheels, a shipwright built ships and a playwright shapes plays. The idea behind it is skilled making, so the word sits close to maker and craftsman. Many family names come from the same trade word. Seeing it in that setting helps explain why playwright is spelled with a w and not as play plus write.
