What does QUEST mean in Scrabble?
noun
literary
A long or difficult search or journey undertaken to achieve a particular goal.
A quest usually involves travel, obstacles and effort directed towards a single clear aim, whether recovering a lost object, finding a person or reaching an understanding. The word is closely associated with medieval romance, where a knight might set out on a quest to find a holy relic or prove his worth. Modern use has broadened the term to cover any determined pursuit, such as a scientific quest for a cure or a personal quest for meaning. Video games and fantasy fiction also use quest for a mission or task a character must complete.
