What does BEFIT mean in Scrabble?
verb
formal
To be suitable, appropriate, or fitting for someone or something, especially in dignity, rank, or occasion.
To befit something means to match it in seriousness, dignity, or style, as when a quiet ceremony befits a solemn occasion or a firm handshake befits a business introduction. The verb often appears with a fitting negative twist, as in behavior that does not befit a person's position, implying that the conduct falls short of what the role demands. Because befit carries a formal, almost old-fashioned tone, it turns up more often in speeches, official writing, and etiquette advice than in casual conversation. Its close relative, fitting, serves as a more common substitute in everyday speech.
