What does DOUBT mean in Scrabble?
noun
A feeling of uncertainty about the truth, reliability, or likelihood of something, or a lack of full confidence in a person, plan, or outcome.
A person who feels doubt is not fully convinced, even if they lean toward believing or accepting something. Doubt can be quiet and personal, as when someone privately questions their own abilities, or it can be voiced openly to challenge a claim or plan. Because doubt sits between full belief and outright rejection, it often drives people to seek further evidence before deciding.
