What does INJURE mean in Scrabble?
verb
To cause physical harm to a person, an animal or a part of the body.
To injure someone is to hurt their body, whether through a fall, a blow, an accident or a piece of careless handling. The verb also reaches beyond the body: a cruel remark can injure feelings, and a scandal can injure a reputation or a business. It comes through French from the Latin word for wrong or injustice, which explains why the older sense of doing someone an unfair harm still lingers in legal and formal writing.
How INJURE is used
Usually physical and fairly mild or general; hurt is plainer, wound suggests a cut or a weapon, and the reflexive form means to hurt oneself.
