What does MANNER mean in Scrabble?
noun
The particular way in which something is done, happens, or is carried out.
Manner describes the how of an action rather than the action itself, covering everything from a calm manner of speaking to the businesslike manner in which a task gets finished. The plural manners narrows the word to a more specific sense, describing polite or well-bred social behavior expected in company. Writers and grammarians also use manner in the phrase adverb of manner, labeling words like quickly or carefully that answer the question how.
