What does MENTAL mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Relating to the mind, or to processes of thinking, reasoning, and feeling rather than the body.
Mental covers everything the mind does, from mental arithmetic and mental images to mental health and mental illness, always pointing to the inner working of thought rather than physical action. In informal British speech the same word can also mean simply crazy or wildly excitable, a much looser and more colloquial sense. A separate, technical anatomical use of mental, unrelated to the mind, describes the chin, as in the mental nerve, though this sense appears only in anatomy.
