What does IMPURE mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Mixed with some other substance so that it is no longer clean or uniform, or morally and ritually unclean.
In everyday use impure describes water, metal, air or a colour that carries something unwanted in it, so that it falls short of its proper standard. In religious and moral writing the same word turns to conduct and thoughts, and to things a law of worship forbids a believer to touch. A laboratory report might call a sample impure long before anyone would use the word of a person.
