What does PROUD mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Feeling or showing deep pleasure and satisfaction over one's own achievements, qualities or possessions, or those of someone closely connected to oneself.
A proud parent, a proud graduate and a proud homeowner all share the same underlying satisfaction, though the word can tip into a negative sense when someone is described as too proud to ask for help or too proud to admit a mistake. The idiom do someone proud describes an achievement impressive enough to make others feel proud on that person's behalf, showing how flexible the word remains in everyday speech. Proud pairs naturally with of, as in proud of her work, and this simple pattern accounts for the great majority of its everyday uses. The related noun pride captures the feeling itself, while proud describes the person who holds or displays it.
