What does BROOK mean in Scrabble?
noun
A small, natural stream of water, smaller than a river or a creek.
A brook is a modest waterway, often narrow enough to cross on stepping stones, that feeds into a larger river or creek further downstream. English place names frequently keep the word, and countless villages sit beside a named brook that gave the settlement its identity. As a verb, brook carries a very different, more formal meaning: to tolerate or put up with something, almost always used in the negative, as in the manager would brook no delay. The two uses share only the spelling, not the underlying sense.
How BROOK is used
The noun is common in everyday and place-name use; the verb meaning to tolerate is more formal and mostly negative.
