What does AUGHT mean in Scrabble?
pronoun
archaicliterary
Anything whatsoever, or the least part of something; an old word still met in set phrases such as for aught I know or for aught I care.
A speaker who says nothing could hinder him, for aught I know is using aught exactly where a modern speaker would put anything, leaving open the possibility that some unknown fact might change the picture. Older written English also used aught as a name for the digit zero when reading numbers aloud, so a date such as nineteen aught six meant nineteen hundred and six. Both uses have faded from ordinary conversation, and a present-day reader meets aught mainly in older literature, legal or ceremonial phrasing, and a handful of surviving fixed expressions. Writers reaching for an old-fashioned or formal tone sometimes revive aught deliberately, trading on its faintly archaic sound.
How AUGHT is used
Archaic and literary; survives chiefly in the fixed phrases for aught I know and for aught I care, and in older texts.
- For aught I know, he may already have left the country.
- She would not change her plans for aught anyone might say.
