What does EONIAN mean in Scrabble?
adjective
literaryrare
Enduring for an immense stretch of time, as if without end; everlasting.
Eonian stretches the noun eon, an immense span of time, into an adjective describing anything that seems to go on without end. Writers reach for eonian instead of a plainer word when they want to stress vast, almost geological duration rather than a purely spiritual or religious kind of endlessness. The word appears mostly in poetic, philosophical, or theological writing rather than in ordinary conversation about time. Its close relative aeonian is simply a variant spelling of the same word.
