What does INTONE mean in Scrabble?
verb
To speak or recite words in a slow, level, chant-like voice, with little rise or fall in pitch.
To intone something is to say it in a measured, musical monotone rather than in ordinary conversational rhythm, a manner strongly associated with prayers, chants, and formal readings in church services. A priest may intone a psalm, and a judge or an official reciting a solemn formula in a flat, deliberate voice is often described the same way, even outside any religious setting. The word can also describe someone speaking gravely or self-importantly in everyday conversation, as if giving weight to ordinary words through tone alone. Intone is closely related to the noun intonation, which describes the rise and fall of pitch in speech generally, not only in chanting.
How INTONE is used
Common in writing about religious ceremony and formal speech, and used more loosely for a grave, deliberate manner of speaking.
