What does PRONE mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Lying flat with the front of the body facing downward, or, in a broader sense, likely to do or experience something, especially something undesirable.
A person lying prone rests on their stomach with the face turned toward the ground, a position doctors often ask a patient to take before examining the back. The same word also describes a tendency, as when someone is called accident-prone or a region is described as prone to flooding, in which case prone points to a pattern of risk rather than a physical posture. Both uses share the idea of something inclined or turned toward an outcome, whether that outcome is falling forward or falling into trouble.
