What does BORNE mean in Scrabble?
verb
To have carried, supported, endured, or produced; the past participle of bear, used in every sense of bear except giving birth.
Borne covers nearly every non-birth sense of bear, so costs are borne by a company, weight is borne by a beam, and hardship is borne with patience. English keeps borne separate from born, the participle reserved specifically for being brought into the world, so that she has borne three children describes the act of giving birth while she was born in 1990 describes her own birth. The same form also appears as the second half of compound adjectives such as airborne and waterborne, describing something carried by air or water.
How BORNE is used
A standard, everyday form used in formal and legal writing about costs, responsibility, and endurance, as well as in compounds like airborne.
