What does FEEBLE mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Lacking strength or force, whether in the body, the mind, a sound or an argument.
Feeble reaches English through Old French feble and goes back to a Latin word meaning tearful or lamentable, which is why it often carries a note of pity. It covers a wide field: a frail old man, a faint light, a weak excuse or a half-hearted attempt can each be feeble. In older writing it could also be a verb meaning to weaken, though that use has largely vanished.
