What does AGAPE mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Wide open, especially describing the mouth, typically from wonder, shock, or surprise.
Agape is used almost exclusively as a predicate adjective after a linking verb, as in her mouth hung agape. A separate, unrelated word spelled the same way but stressed differently refers to a Christian concept of selfless love, borrowed directly from Greek; the two words share only their spelling. The wide-open sense described here is the far more common everyday use.
