What does BRAVE mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Ready to face danger, pain, or difficulty without giving in to fear.
A brave person acts in spite of fear rather than without feeling it at all, whether facing physical danger, illness, or a difficult decision. The word also works as a verb, to brave something, meaning to confront it directly, as when someone braves a storm. In earlier American writing brave was additionally used as a noun for a Native American warrior, a sense now considered outdated.
