What does GODLY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Devout and pious; showing deep reverence for God and living according to religious teaching.
Godly describes a person, a life, or a community centred on religious devotion, and it carries a note of moral seriousness that a plain word like religious does not always carry. English writers have used the word since the medieval period, most often in a Christian context, to praise conduct as well as belief. It can describe people directly, as in a godly man, or things tied to a devout life, as in godly counsel or a godly household. The word stays common today in religious writing and speech, though it sounds distinctly formal or old-fashioned outside that setting.
