What does DOGGED mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Refusing to give up, however hard or slow the going.
A dogged person keeps at a task with grim persistence, much as a dog keeps hold of a bone. The word is pronounced with two syllables when it is an adjective, which separates it from the plain past tense of the verb dog. It is usually meant as praise for stamina and stubbornness, though it can also hint at a lack of flair, as in dogged work that wins by effort rather than brilliance.
How DOGGED is used
Often paired with nouns such as determination, effort, pursuit and resistance.
