What does AWLESS mean in Scrabble?
adjective
poeticarchaic
Feeling or inspiring no awe, with no sense of reverence or respectful fear.
The word is built from awe and the ending meaning without, and it can describe either a person who lacks reverence or a thing that stirs none. Poets favoured it for rebels and tyrants who feared no power above them. It is a variant spelling of aweless, which appears in the same older texts. Modern writers prefer fearless or irreverent, so awless survives chiefly in verse and in word games.
