What does REBEL mean in Scrabble?
noun
A person who rises up in opposition or armed resistance against an established government, authority or accepted convention.
A rebel refuses to accept the rule or expectations placed on them, and the word covers everything from a soldier fighting an armed uprising against a government to a teenager who simply resists family or social rules without picking up a weapon at all. Historically it has named entire armed movements, as in accounts of rebel forces during a civil war, while in everyday speech it just as easily describes anyone with a stubbornly independent streak. The same word also works as a verb, to rebel, meaning to take that resisting action rather than simply being the person who takes it.
How REBEL is used
Common in both historical and political writing for an armed opponent of authority, and equally common in everyday speech for anyone who resists rules or convention.
- The rebel led his small band through the mountains for years.
