What does MISHAP mean in Scrabble?
noun
A small piece of bad luck or a minor accident that causes trouble but not serious harm.
A mishap is the kind of thing that spoils a plan without ruining it: a spilled drink, a missed train, a dropped tray. The word suggests ill luck more than blame, which is why it is a favourite of speakers who want to describe an accident gently. It is built from the prefix mis- and the old word hap, meaning chance or fortune, the same root found in happen and perhaps.
