What does FACILE mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Too easily achieved or accepted, and therefore lacking depth or real thought.
Calling an answer, argument or victory facile is usually a mild criticism: it came with so little effort that it cannot be fully trusted. The word can also be neutral or even admiring when it describes a person who does something smoothly, such as a facile pen or a facile talker. The common root with the French facile and the Latin facilis, meaning easy to do, shows in both uses.
