What does ESTEEM mean in Scrabble?
noun
Respect and warm approval felt for someone or something because of their worth, ability or character.
Esteem is not a fleeting compliment; it builds up over time as someone earns a good name through their actions or their work. People can hold a person, a colleague, an institution or even an old family recipe in esteem, and the word usually implies that the good opinion has been tested, not just given at first sight. Esteem can also be used as a verb, so one can speak of esteeming a teacher or esteeming a piece of advice, meaning to value it highly. In everyday speech people often reach for the phrase self-esteem, which turns the same regard inward, toward how a person judges their own worth.
