What does AUGEND mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
In arithmetic, the number to which another number, called the addend, is added.
In the simple sum five plus three, the augend is the five, the number that receives the addition, while the three is the addend being added to it. Because addition is commutative, the distinction between augend and addend rarely matters for the final answer, and most people simply call both numbers addends in everyday speech. The term augend survives mainly in mathematics textbooks and in the design of computer arithmetic circuits, where engineers must sometimes treat the two positions in a sum differently. Outside these technical contexts, few speakers ever need or use the word augend at all.
