What does FAVOUR mean in Scrabble?
noun
British
A kind act done for someone, or approval and preference shown toward a person or idea.

The other is goodwill or preference, which is why a rule can be in favour of some people and a candidate can fall out of favour. This is the usual British spelling; the American spelling favor is described as a separate entry in the set.
