What does ASSUME mean in Scrabble?
verb
To accept something as true without proof, or to take on a duty, quality, appearance or manner, sometimes without being formally given it.
A person who assumes something treats it as fact before checking, which can lead to trouble when the assumption turns out to be wrong. The same word also describes taking on a role or responsibility, as when a new director assumes control of a struggling department. Assume can carry a slightly negative shade too, describing someone who claims authority or a manner that was never actually granted to them. Across all these uses, assume points to taking something on, whether a belief, a duty or an appearance, without full confirmation from outside.
How ASSUME is used
A common verb, often followed by that in its belief sense and by a noun such as control, power or a name in its taking-on sense.

- She will assume the role of manager next month.
- He seemed to assume an air of confidence he did not really feel.
