What does FRIEND mean in Scrabble?
noun
A person you know well and like, and with whom you share trust and goodwill.
Unlike a relative, a friend is someone chosen, and the bond rests on affection and mutual support rather than blood or business. The word reaches back to an Old English verb meaning to love, which is why it sits so close to the idea of loyalty. On social networks it also became a verb, to friend someone, meaning to add them to your contacts.
