What does CHANT mean in Scrabble?
verb
To say or sing the same words repeatedly, often in a rhythmic or monotonous tone.
Crowds chant at protests and sports events, repeating a slogan or a team name in unison until the words blur into pure rhythm, while monks and choirs chant psalms and prayers in a plain, sustained melody with little variation in pitch. The noun chant names both the repeated phrase itself, such as a football chant, and the ancient musical style built around it, including Gregorian chant used in medieval church services. Because a chant relies on repetition rather than a developing tune, it sits somewhere between speech and song.
How CHANT is used
Used both for religious and ceremonial singing and for the rhythmic repeated slogans of crowds at protests, rallies, and sports events.
- The fans began to chant the goalkeeper's name.
