What does POWER mean in Scrabble?
noun
The ability to do something, or the capacity to control people or events.
Power covers two closely related ideas that English keeps under one word: raw ability, as in the power to lift a weight, and control over others, as in political power. The same word also names the energy that drives an engine or lights a building, a sense that only became common with steam and electricity. It comes from an Old French word meaning "to be able", the same root that gave English several other words about capacity and control.
How POWER is used
Countable in some senses (a foreign power, the great powers) and uncountable in others (power over the region); very common in both everyday and technical writing.
- The generator restored power to the hospital within minutes.
