What does YEOMAN mean in Scrabble?
noun
A man who owns and farms a small piece of land himself, or an officer in a navy who handles clerical and signalling duties.
In medieval and Tudor England a yeoman ranked below the gentry but above the labourer, and he worked land that he held in his own right. The same word was used for servants in royal and noble households and for the Yeomen of the Guard, who still serve as ceremonial bodyguards of the British monarch. Sailors know it differently, since in the United States Navy a yeoman is a petty officer who keeps the office records on board.
