What does AMORAL mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Having no moral sense at all, or unconcerned with whether something is right or wrong.
Amoral describes a person, action or system that simply sits outside moral judgement, rather than one that deliberately breaks moral rules. This sets it apart from immoral, which implies actively choosing wrong over right; something amoral has not entered that framework in the first place. Writers use amoral to describe forces like nature, markets or pure logic that operate without any concept of right and wrong.
