What does AMUSE mean in Scrabble?
verb
To make someone smile or laugh, or to hold their attention in a pleasant, entertaining way.
Something that amuses a person is engaging enough to produce a smile, a laugh, or at least genuine interest, whether it is a joke, a game, or an unexpected turn of events. The verb also covers the quieter sense of keeping someone occupied and content, as when a parent finds a way to amuse a restless child on a long journey. A related adjective, amused, describes the reaction itself, while amusing describes whatever caused it. In older usage amuse could also mean to distract or mislead someone, a sense that has mostly faded from everyday speech.
