What does HUMANE mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Showing kindness and mercy, especially by causing as little suffering as possible to people or animals.
Humane was once only a spelling variant of human, and the two split in meaning during the eighteenth century. Now humane describes the quality of treating others with compassion, as in humane laws, humane farming or a humane death. It should not be mixed up with human, which simply means belonging to people, and the stress falls on the second syllable.
