What does ASSERT mean in Scrabble?
verb
To state something firmly and confidently as being true, often without providing direct proof.
Assert is used both for calm, confident statements of fact and for insisting on a right or claim, as when a person asserts their innocence or a country asserts its authority over disputed territory. The related adjective assertive describes a person's general manner of confidently stating opinions or needs, while assert itself refers to a specific act of stating or claiming something. Because it stresses confidence rather than evidence, a claim that someone asserts is not automatically shown to be true.
How ASSERT is used
A common word for confidently stating a claim, right or fact, from everyday conversation to legal and political contexts.
