What does AWAKE mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Not asleep; in a state of consciousness.
Awake describes the ordinary waking state, as opposed to sleep, and it is most often used after a form of the verb to be rather than directly before a noun. The word also extends beyond literal sleep, describing someone alert to a danger, an opportunity or a piece of information, as in staying awake to a risk. Because it behaves like a predicate adjective, English speakers say a person is awake but rarely an awake person, preferring awakened or wakeful in that position. The related verb to awake and its past form awoke share the same root but describe the action of coming out of sleep rather than the resulting state.
