What does QUITE mean in Scrabble?
adverb
Completely or entirely; in weaker use, fairly or somewhat, depending on context and tone.
Quite works as an intensifier that can push a statement toward completeness, as in quite finished, or soften it toward a moderate degree, as in quite good, and the intended strength usually depends on the word it modifies. British and American usage often diverge here, with British speakers more likely to use quite as a mild qualifier and American speakers leaning toward the stronger, more absolute sense. Because of this flexibility, quite can shift the meaning of a sentence considerably depending on context and stress. It is one of the most common adverbs in everyday English conversation and writing.
