What does BEMOAN mean in Scrabble?
verb
To express grief or disappointment over something, often at length.
People bemoan a loss, a change or a bad turn of events, and the word suggests a long and mournful complaint rather than a brief remark. Commentators like it when describing public mood, as when they say fans bemoan a defeat. It carries more feeling than simply mention and a bit less than the stronger lament.
