What does ARGUE mean in Scrabble?
verb
To make a case for or against something using reasons and evidence, or to quarrel with someone over a difference of opinion.
To argue can mean the calm, structured work of building a case, as when a lawyer argues before a judge, or the far less orderly business of two people raising their voices over who left a door unlocked. The same verb also covers trying to persuade someone toward a particular action, as when a friend argues someone into staying another night, which is different from simply disagreeing with them. A more technical sense appears in phrases like the evidence argues for an earlier date, where argue means to indicate or point toward a conclusion rather than to speak at all. Because the word covers careful reasoning and open quarreling alike, context usually decides whether a described exchange was a debate, a disagreement, or something closer to a fight.
How ARGUE is used
Covers reasoned debate, informal quarreling, and persuasion; the related noun argument can mean either a line of reasoning or a dispute.
