What does JADES mean in Scrabble?
verb
To wear out or dull something by overuse — the form used after he, she or it.
The verb is nearly always met as a participle: a jaded palate, a jaded audience. Behind it lies an old word for a worn-out horse, which is why the sense is exhaustion through repetition rather than through effort, and why jades in the plain present tense is rare enough to look odd on the page.
