What does LOUDEN mean in Scrabble?
verb
rare
To make or become louder.
Louden can be used either transitively, to louden a sound, or intransitively, when a sound is said to louden on its own. Most modern writers reach for a longer phrase such as grow louder instead, so the plain verb louden now reads as slightly old-fashioned or literary. It nonetheless remains a recognised word in current dictionaries rather than a purely historical form.
