What does MANTRA mean in Scrabble?
noun
A word, sound, or short phrase repeated over and over, especially during meditation or prayer, to help focus the mind.
Mantra came into English from Sanskrit, where it named a sacred syllable or verse repeated during meditation to help focus the mind, particularly in Hindu and Buddhist practice. English speakers loosened the religious meaning long ago, so that a company's repeated slogan or a person's private motto for staying calm under pressure can both be called a mantra. What survives from the original sense is the idea of deliberate repetition, rather than any phrase spoken only once.
How MANTRA is used
Widely used outside religious contexts to mean any frequently repeated phrase or guiding principle.
- She whispered her mantra quietly before stepping onto the stage.
