What does BEATEN mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Defeated, worn down by long use, or shaped by repeated blows of a hammer, rather than left in its original state.
Beaten covers several related ideas that all trace back to being struck or worked over repeatedly: a beaten team has lost a contest, a beaten path has been worn smooth by countless feet, and beaten gold or silver has been hammered into thin sheets for decoration. A person can look beaten in the sense of exhausted and dejected, not literally struck, after a hard defeat or a long ordeal. Cooks use the same word for eggs or batter that have been stirred vigorously until smooth, showing how far the idea of repeated action has spread from its original sense of physical blows.
