What does DEGAGE mean in Scrabble?
adjective
formal
Relaxed and unconstrained in manner, showing no strain, anxiety or emotional involvement.
The word came into English from French, where it described someone who had freed themselves from awkward ties or worries. A degage person strolls through a crowded room as if nothing could touch them, which makes the word a favourite of fashion and society writers. In ballet the same French term names a movement in which the weight passes from one foot to the other as the dancer prepares a step.
