What does ACCEPT mean in Scrabble?
verb
To take willingly what is offered, or to agree to or acknowledge something as true, valid or unavoidable.
Few verbs cover as much ground. You can accept a gift or an invitation, accept a proposal of marriage, accept a card or a coin as payment, or accept blame, a decision or a hard truth. It comes from the Latin accipere, to receive, and in modern use it often carries the sense of agreeing without a fight. Do not confuse it with except, which sounds similar in quick speech but means to leave out.
How ACCEPT is used
Standard everyday English; often confused in writing with except.
- Please accept this small gift with our thanks.
- The shop will accept cash or a card.
- She chose to accept the job in the north.
- It took him years to accept that the house was gone.
