What does RANCOR mean in Scrabble?
noun
formal
Bitter, long-lasting resentment or ill will.
Rancor describes a resentment that has hardened over time rather than a passing flash of anger, often the kind that lingers after an argument, a betrayal, or a long rivalry. Writers reach for rancor when they want to suggest a grudge nursed quietly rather than shouted, which is why the word fits courtroom disputes, family feuds, and political rivalries alike. The British spelling rancour carries exactly the same meaning.
