What does ARDENT mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Full of intense feeling, enthusiasm, or devotion; passionately eager or determined.
Ardent describes emotion at full heat, whether directed at a cause, a belief, or another person, and it always implies more warmth than a merely interested or willing attitude. An ardent supporter campaigns tirelessly rather than simply agreeing with a position, and an ardent admirer pursues someone with visible, sometimes overwhelming, devotion. The word derives from the Latin ardere, to burn, and older English usage kept that literal sense of fire or heat alongside the figurative one of burning emotion. Today the literal sense has almost vanished, leaving ardent to describe only strong feeling.
How ARDENT is used
Common in both spoken and written English to describe strong enthusiasm, devotion, or passion.
