What does PREACH mean in Scrabble?
verb
To give a religious talk, usually in a church, or to urge a belief or way of acting on other people.
The basic use belongs to the pulpit, where a minister preaches a sermon to the congregation. The verb has also moved into everyday speech with the sense of lecturing others about how to behave, often in a tone that others find self-righteous. People who preach one thing and do another invite the familiar charge of hypocrisy. In a positive sense, to preach can mean to argue earnestly for a cause one believes in.
