What does INTER mean in Scrabble?
verb
formal
To place a dead body in a grave or tomb; to bury.
To inter someone is to carry out the formal act of burial, placing the body in a grave, tomb or vault, usually as part of a funeral ceremony. The word sounds more solemn than the everyday bury, and it appears often in obituaries, legal documents and official announcements of a burial. Related words share the same root, including disinter, meaning to dig a body back up, and interment, the noun naming the act itself. Because the word focuses specifically on burial, it is not used for cremation or other ways of disposing of remains.
How INTER is used
Formal and somewhat solemn, common in obituaries, legal notices and descriptions of funeral ceremonies.
- The family chose to inter their grandfather beside his late wife.
- Soldiers were interred with full military honours at the cemetery.
- The ancient king was interred in a tomb filled with treasure.
