What does YMOLT mean in Scrabble?
verb
archaic
To have melted, as the old Spenserian past participle of melt.
Ymolt spells the same word as melt with an older vowel and the same y- prefix found on other Spenserian participles, and the poet used it for wax or snow that had melted away. The spelling looks like a form of the unrelated verb molt, which is about shedding feathers or skin, but the two words share no history at all. Molt and melt trace to different Old English roots, so the resemblance in ymolt is coincidence rather than kinship.
