What does GRACE mean in Scrabble?
noun
Elegant, smooth and effortless beauty of movement, form or manner; also, in religious use, God's unearned favor and love toward humanity.
Grace often describes physical poise, as in a dancer's grace, but it extends to social ease, tact and kindness in behavior, as when someone accepts criticism with grace. In Christian theology, grace refers to divine favor freely given rather than earned, a sense preserved in phrases such as saving grace and by the grace of God, and the word also names the short prayer of thanks said before a meal. It comes from the Latin gratia, meaning favor or thanks.
