What does ATTENT mean in Scrabble?
adjective
archaic
Attentive, watchful, or fully absorbed in listening to or observing something.
Attent once stood alongside attentive as an ordinary word for close attention, and it appears in older English writing, including Shakespeare, describing someone who listens closely or watches carefully. Over time attentive became the standard form and attent dropped out of everyday use, so today it survives mainly in quotations from earlier literature and in deliberately old-fashioned or poetic writing. It is built from the same Latin root as attention and attentive, meaning to stretch the mind toward something.
