What does MISLIE mean in Scrabble?
verb
rare
To lie in an incorrect, uncomfortable, or improper position.
Mislie combines the prefix mis-, meaning wrongly, with lie in the sense of reclining or resting, rather than the sense of telling an untruth. It describes a person or object resting awkwardly or out of its proper place, such as a patient lying badly in a hospital bed or a book left askew on a shelf. Like several other mis- verbs formed the same way, it survives mainly in specialist and historical word lists rather than everyday conversation.
