What does INDIGN mean in Scrabble?
adjective
archaic
Not worthy or deserving; shameful in a way that reflects badly on a person or an act.
Indign comes from the same Latin root as indignant, but where indignant describes an angry reaction, indign describes the shameful act or state itself. Shakespeare and other early writers used it of conduct unworthy of a person's rank or honor, a sense now confined to old texts. Modern English has largely replaced indign with unworthy or shameful, and the word survives mainly in quotation from earlier centuries.
