What does GARNER mean in Scrabble?
verb
To gather, collect, or accumulate something, especially through steady or deliberate effort.
To garner something is to bring it together bit by bit until a worthwhile amount has built up, whether that is grain in a storehouse or praise for a piece of work. The word began with the literal sense of storing harvested grain, and it later broadened to cover anything gathered over time, such as support, attention, or information. It now appears most often in writing about reputation, evidence, or public opinion rather than about physical crops.
