What does PRIDE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A strong feeling of deep pleasure and satisfaction taken in one's own achievements, qualities or possessions, or in those of someone closely connected to oneself; also the term for a group of lions living and hunting together.
A parent who beams at a child's graduation feels pride in exactly the same emotional sense that a craftsman feels pride in a well-made piece of furniture, a satisfaction rooted in accomplishment rather than luck. English speakers also warn against excessive pride, since the same word can shade into arrogance or an unwillingness to admit fault, as in the phrase swallow one's pride. Quite separately, naturalists borrowed pride as the collective noun for a group of lions, a social unit built around related females, their cubs and one or more males. The two senses, emotional and zoological, share only the spelling, having developed along entirely different paths.
How PRIDE is used
Common in everyday speech for satisfaction in an achievement, and, in a separate zoological sense, as the collective noun for a group of lions.
