What does BLOWN mean in Scrabble?
adjective
No longer working because it has burst or failed under too much pressure, heat, or electrical current.
A blown fuse has melted its internal wire after too much current passed through it, and a blown tyre has burst suddenly while a vehicle was moving, so in both cases blown describes damage caused by something pushed past its limit rather than ordinary wear. Mechanics also talk about a blown engine or a blown head gasket when internal pressure has forced a part to fail. Away from machinery, gardeners use blown for a flower that has opened fully and is already past its best, a much older and gentler sense of the same word.
How BLOWN is used
Common in everyday talk about cars and electrical faults, and in gardening writing for a flower past its prime.
