What does ADORN mean in Scrabble?
verb
To decorate or add beauty to something, often by attaching ornaments, jewelry, or other decorative details.
People adorn rooms with flowers, adorn clothing with embroidery, and adorn public buildings with statues and carvings, always adding something extra rather than changing the underlying structure. The word carries a slightly formal or literary tone compared to the everyday decorate, and it often appears in descriptions of ceremonial dress, religious art, or grand architecture. What gets used to adorn something usually says as much about status or occasion as it does about taste.
