What does DOGMA mean in Scrabble?
noun
A principle, belief, or set of beliefs laid down by an authority, especially a religious one, as unquestionably true.
Dogma is treated as settled and not open to doubt or debate by those who hold it, which is what distinguishes it from an ordinary opinion or theory that remains open to argument and revision. The word began as a term for official Church teaching but has spread to describe rigidly held positions in politics, science, and everyday life, often with a critical edge suggesting closed-mindedness. Calling an idea dogma can therefore be either a neutral description of doctrine or a pointed criticism of inflexible thinking.
How DOGMA is used
Can be neutral, describing official doctrine, or critical, implying rigid and unquestioned belief.
