What does INDEED mean in Scrabble?
adverb
Used to emphasize the truth of a statement, or to intensify what has just been said.
Indeed can confirm something already suggested, add surprise to a reply, or simply intensify the previous claim, so its exact force depends heavily on tone and context. It began as the phrase in deed, literally meaning in action or in fact, and later fused into a single adverb. Modern speech also uses indeed as a one-word answer that ranges from polite agreement to open irony, depending on how it is said.
