What does CLAIM mean in Scrabble?
verb
To state that something is true, especially when it has not been proven or when others might disagree.
A person who makes a claim asserts something confidently but does not necessarily provide immediate evidence for it, so listeners often judge a claim by how credible the speaker or the surrounding facts appear. The word is also used as a noun for the assertion itself, and for a formal request for money or property that someone believes they are owed, such as an insurance claim. In law and business, a claim can trigger a whole process of verification, from courts weighing evidence to companies checking whether a policy covers the loss described.
How CLAIM is used
Functions as both a verb (to claim something) and a noun (to make a claim, to file a claim), common in everyday, legal and journalistic English.
- She continued to claim that she had never seen the document.
- The company will investigate every insurance claim carefully.
- He filed a claim for the money he was owed.
- Scientists were quick to question the claim in the report.
- They lodged a claim to the land after their grandfather died.
