What does BLISS mean in Scrabble?
noun
A state of perfect happiness or great joy, especially one so complete that ordinary cares and worries fall away.
Bliss describes happiness at its most intense and untroubled, which is why the word so often appears next to images of paradise, love, or a perfect quiet moment rather than ordinary contentment. Religious writing has long used bliss for the joy of heaven or spiritual peace, while everyday speech borrows the same word for anything from a delicious meal to a quiet Sunday morning. The phrase ignorance is bliss plays on the idea that not knowing a painful truth can itself feel like a kind of untroubled happiness.
How BLISS is used
Used in both everyday speech, for intense happiness, and in religious or literary writing about spiritual joy.
- Lying on the beach with nothing to do felt like pure bliss.
