What does ADORE mean in Scrabble?
verb
To love, admire, or worship someone or something very deeply.
People adore both persons and things, and the strength of the word sets it apart from milder verbs like like or enjoy. A child might adore a favorite toy with the same intensity that a devoted follower is said to adore a religious figure, since the word carries a trace of its older meaning of worship. Because adore leans toward strong feeling rather than measured judgment, it fits casual enthusiasm about small pleasures just as easily as it fits deep devotion.
How ADORE is used
Common in everyday speech for strong affection, and historically linked to religious worship.
- She has adored horses since she was a small child.
