What does YCOND mean in Scrabble?
other
archaic
The archaic past participle of con, meaning studied, learned, or committed to memory.
Long before con narrowed to its modern sense of a trick, it meant to study or learn something carefully, and ycond was simply that verb wearing the same old y- prefix seen in yclad and ycled. A lesson ycond was one that had been gone over until it stuck, the way a schoolboy might drill a psalm before reciting it.
