What does MISEAT mean in Scrabble?
verb
rare
To eat in an improper or unhealthy way.
Miseat is formed from the prefix mis-, meaning wrongly, added to eat, and it appears mainly in older or specialist word lists rather than in everyday speech. It describes eating badly, whether through poor manners, an unhealthy diet, or eating at the wrong time, rather than pointing to any single specific fault. The word is rare enough that most speakers would reach for a phrase like "eat badly" instead, but it remains a recognized headword in unabridged dictionaries.
