What does MERE mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Being nothing more than what is stated; nothing better, greater, or more important.
Mere places a limit on whatever noun follows it, so a mere child is only a child and nothing more, and a mere mention is a small, passing reference rather than a full discussion. The word is also an old noun for a lake and a name for a Maori war club, but the adjective sense is by far the one most readers meet.
How MERE is used
Common in both speech and formal writing; always placed directly before the noun it limits.
- A mere glance told her something was wrong.
- He dismissed the accusation as a mere rumour.
- It took a mere five minutes to finish the job.
- She was a mere child when the war began.
