What does GRANT mean in Scrabble?
verb
To agree to give or allow someone something that has been asked for, or to formally bestow a right, privilege, or piece of property.
A government might grant a visa, a judge might grant a request for a delay, and a wealthy donor might grant money to a university, but in every case the underlying idea is the same: someone with the authority to refuse instead chooses to agree. The noun form, a grant, usually refers to a sum of money given for a particular purpose, such as a research grant or a college grant, rather than a loan that has to be repaid. The phrase take for granted is closely related, describing something that is simply assumed or expected without proper thought or gratitude, as if it had already been permanently granted.
How GRANT is used
Very common in both everyday requests and formal or legal contexts, such as granting permission, a wish, a patent, or funding.
- The committee agreed to grant her request for extra time.
