What does FORGO mean in Scrabble?
verb
To give up or do without something, especially something desirable or expected.
Forgo describes a deliberate choice to skip something rather than losing it by accident, so people forgo dessert, forgo a bonus, or forgo an argument they could easily win. The word is often confused in spelling with forego, meaning to go before, and careful writers keep the two apart even though many readers no longer do. Choosing to forgo something usually signals restraint or priority, putting a longer-term goal ahead of an immediate reward.
How FORGO is used
Regular verb: forgoes, forwent, forgone. Frequently followed directly by a noun, as in forgo the chance, rather than by a preposition.
