What does ATTAIN mean in Scrabble?
verb
To reach or achieve something, especially a goal, level, or standard, usually through sustained effort or time.
Attain often describes reaching a specific, sometimes difficult, target, such as attaining a qualification, a rank, or a certain age, and it carries a slightly more formal tone than the everyday word get or reach. The noun attainment, as in academic attainment, names the achievement or level reached rather than the act of reaching it. The word can also apply to abstract or personal goals, as when someone attains peace of mind or wisdom after long effort.
