What does OPPUGN mean in Scrabble?
verb
formalliterary
To argue against something and call its truth or soundness into question.
Oppugn comes from a Latin verb meaning to fight against, and it keeps a combative flavour that the plain word question lacks. Older writers used it for attacking a doctrine, a claim or an authority in debate, and it turns up today mostly in learned or deliberately old-fashioned prose. It is not related to the similar-looking impugn, though the two overlap in sense.
