What does MEMOIR mean in Scrabble?
noun
A written account of events from the authors own life, or of a person the author knew well.
A memoir differs from a full autobiography because it focuses on a chosen stretch of life or a set of experiences rather than on every year in order. The word comes from French and is related to memory, and it is sometimes used in the plural for a long personal record. Memoirs by statesmen and soldiers have long served historians as first hand evidence, though they are shaped by what the writer chooses to remember.
