What does NOTION mean in Scrabble?
noun
informalNorth American
A general idea or belief about something, often held loosely rather than based on careful proof.
A notion can be as light as a passing impulse, as in a notion to take a walk, or as broad as a whole conception of how the world works, so the word stretches from casual whim to settled opinion depending on context. Because a notion is usually vague rather than rigorously argued, people often contrast it with a firm belief or a proven fact, saying someone has only a notion rather than real knowledge. In American English, notions also names small sewing supplies such as buttons, pins, thread and hooks, sold together in shops under that heading. Both senses share the idea of something modest, whether a small idea in the mind or a small item in a sewing box.
