What does MENTOR mean in Scrabble?
noun
An experienced and trusted adviser who guides and supports someone less experienced.
A mentor shares hard-won knowledge with someone earlier in their career or a new stage of life, offering advice, encouragement, and honest feedback rather than simply giving instructions. The word comes from the character Mentor in Homer's Odyssey, the trusted friend who guided Telemachus, and it has since become the standard term for any such guiding figure in business, education, or sport. Used as a verb, to mentor someone means to take on exactly this supportive, guiding role over time.
