What does FROWN mean in Scrabble?
verb
To draw the eyebrows together and lower them, especially to show displeasure, disapproval, worry, or concentration.
To frown is to pull the eyebrows down and together, producing the small vertical lines many people associate with anger, confusion, or deep thought. The expression can signal genuine displeasure at what someone has said or done, but it can equally show simple concentration, as when a person frowns while solving a difficult problem. Frown also works as a noun for the expression itself, as in a deep frown crossed her face. Figuratively, people or institutions are said to frown on a practice or behaviour they disapprove of, even without any literal facial expression involved.
