What does PASSE mean in Scrabble?
adjective
No longer fashionable, current or interesting; outmoded.
Passe comes from the French word for past and describes something that was once admired or up to date but has since fallen out of favor. It is often applied to styles, ideas or manners that look dated when judged against current taste. The word carries a slightly dismissive tone, suggesting that whatever it describes has had its moment and should be left behind. English writers usually keep the accent as passe with an acute mark, though the plain spelling passe is equally standard.
