What does GRATIS mean in Scrabble?
adverb
formal
Without charge; for nothing.
Gratis comes directly from Latin, where it meant as a favor or out of kindness, and it still carries a slightly formal tone compared with the plain word free. It describes something given, done or supplied without any payment expected in return, whether a ticket, a service or advice. The word can also work as an adjective describing the thing itself, as in a gratis copy of a book. It appears often in formal notices and older writing rather than in casual conversation.
