What does AWAKEN mean in Scrabble?
verb
To bring someone out of sleep, or to stir up a feeling, memory or awareness that was dormant.
Awaken works in two directions: it can describe a person coming out of sleep, and it can describe a quality being brought to life, as when a song awakens an old memory or a lesson awakens curiosity. The literal use is a little more formal than the everyday phrase wake up, and the figurative use is where the word is most at home. It is often found in writing about hopes, fears, suspicions and other states that arrive gradually rather than all at once.
How AWAKEN is used
Common in literary and reflective writing; in casual speech people usually say wake up instead.
