What does GRUNT mean in Scrabble?
verb
To make a short, low, guttural sound, typically as an expression of physical effort, discomfort, or reluctant agreement.
Pigs grunt as their natural means of vocal communication, and the same short, rough sound is what a person makes when lifting something heavy or replying without real enthusiasm. As a noun, a grunt is both the sound itself and, informally, a low-ranking soldier who does the hard, unglamorous work of a military campaign. The word conveys a sense of effort or minimal willingness rather than clear, enthusiastic speech.
How GRUNT is used
Common as a verb for the sound animals or straining people make; the noun sense for a soldier is informal, mainly American military slang.
