What does ASSENT mean in Scrabble?
verb
formal
To express agreement or give formal consent to a proposal, statement, or plan.
Assent is often used where agreement carries some weight or formality, such as a monarch assenting to a new law or a board assenting to a merger, rather than in casual everyday agreement. The related noun form, as in royal assent or with her assent, names the agreement itself rather than the act of giving it. The word is close in meaning to consent, but assent leans more toward accepting an idea or statement as correct, while consent leans more toward permitting an action.
