What does GUILT mean in Scrabble?
noun
The fact of having committed a wrongdoing or crime, or the uncomfortable feeling of responsibility and remorse that follows one.
In a legal setting, a court must establish a defendant's guilt beyond reasonable doubt before handing down a conviction, contrasting guilt with innocence. In everyday emotional life, guilt describes the uneasy feeling a person has after doing something wrong, or even after believing they have let someone down, whether or not any real wrongdoing occurred. Excessive or unfounded guilt is sometimes described by psychologists as a burden a person carries long after the original event.
