What does BLESS mean in Scrabble?
verb
To ask God's favor for someone or something, or to make holy through a religious rite; more loosely, to grant good fortune or a valued quality.
In its most literal sense, to bless is to invoke divine protection or approval through prayer or ritual words, as a priest does over a congregation or a parent does over a child. The word has spread well beyond formal religion, so that people casually say a person is blessed with talent or good luck without any ceremony being involved. The interjection bless you, said after a sneeze, keeps the old sense of wishing someone health and protection in a single short phrase.
How BLESS is used
Used both in formal religious rites and in everyday speech about good fortune, gratitude, or kindness.
- The priest raised his hand to bless the newly married couple.
- She felt truly blessed to have such supportive friends.
- Grandmother would bless the food before every family meal.
- People often say bless you after someone sneezes.
- The old prayer asks God to bless the harvest and the household.
