What does ALLIED mean in Scrabble?
adjective
United with another person, group, or nation through a formal agreement, a common cause, or a close working relationship.
Allied describes people, nations or things bound together for a shared purpose, most familiarly the Allied nations that fought together in the First and Second World Wars. Beyond that historical sense, the word extends to anything joined by close connection, such as allied industries that depend on one another or allied species that share a common ancestor. It comes from the verb ally, to join by treaty or agreement, and keeps that sense of working partnership rather than mere similarity.
