What does TRAGIC mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Causing or involving great sadness, suffering or disaster.
A tragic accident, a tragic loss or a tragic mistake all carry the sense of an outcome that could not easily be undone. The word grew out of Greek drama, where a tragedy told of a noble figure brought down by fate or by a flaw of character, and it is still used for that style of play. Used loosely, it can also exaggerate a small disappointment for comic effect.
