What does MOROSE mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Sullen, gloomy, and ill-tempered, especially in a settled or habitual way.
A morose person broods in silence rather than expressing anger openly, so the word suggests a lasting mood rather than a single outburst of temper. It is often used of someone whose gloom seems to colour every response, making ordinary conversation feel heavy. The word is closer to sullen than to merely sad, since it carries a hint of unfriendliness as well as low spirits.
