What does ANNEX mean in Scrabble?
verb
To incorporate a territory, region or piece of property formally into an existing state, city or organization, usually by force or unilateral action.
Countries annex territory most often after a war or a border dispute, taking control of land that previously belonged to a neighbour, and the word carries a strong sense of unilateral or forceful action rather than friendly agreement. Cities and towns can also annex nearby land more peacefully, extending municipal boundaries to include growing suburbs. The same spelling works as a noun, usually written annex in American English and annexe in British English, naming a building attached to or built beside a larger main structure.
How ANNEX is used
Common in political, legal and historical writing, and also used as a noun for a building attached to a larger one.
