What does MISSET mean in Scrabble?
verb
rare
To set something in the wrong place, position, or manner.
Misset adds the prefix mis-, meaning wrongly, to the common verb set, so it covers any case of placing, arranging, or adjusting something incorrectly, from a table setting to a mechanical dial. Because set already serves as both its own present and past tense, misset likewise stays the same in the past tense. The word is rare in ordinary speech, where people usually just say something "was set wrong" instead.
