What does INCUR mean in Scrabble?
verb
To become subject to something unwelcome, such as a debt, cost, or penalty, as a direct result of one's own action.
People incur consequences by doing something that brings a cost or risk down upon themselves, whether that means a company that incurs debt through borrowing or a driver who incurs a fine for speeding. The verb almost always pairs with something negative or burdensome, which sets it apart from plainer verbs such as get or receive. Because the outcome follows directly from an action already taken, incur is common in financial, legal, and formal writing describing cause and effect.
