What does AWEARY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
archaicpoetic
Tired out and drained of energy, as after a long effort.
The word is built from the old prefix a- and weary, and it turns up mostly in verse and in imitations of older English. Because it sits after the noun or verb it describes, a writer can say a traveller was aweary where plain modern prose would simply say tired. Nowadays it signals a deliberately antique or lyrical voice.
