What does DEMUR mean in Scrabble?
verb
formal
To object to or show reluctance about something, often by raising a polite or hesitant objection.
A person who demurs does not refuse outright but signals doubt or discomfort before going along with a plan, request, or command. Lawyers also use demur in a narrower legal sense, filing a formal objection that a claim has no legal basis even if the facts alleged are true. Because demur suggests a measured pause rather than an angry refusal, it often appears in formal writing about negotiations, meetings, or courtroom proceedings.
