What does OMEN mean in Scrabble?
noun
A sign or event believed to foretell something, good or bad, that will happen in the future.
An omen is read rather than caused: the thing itself, a bird crossing a path or a broken mirror, is ordinary, and it is only the belief that something follows from it that makes it an omen at all. English keeps the adjectives ominous for a bad one and its opposite far rarer, which says something about which kind gets noticed more.
