What does REDDEN mean in Scrabble?
verb
To become red or make something red, often as a sign of embarrassment, anger, or the reflection of light.
Redden covers both a change happening to something and a change someone causes: a face can redden with embarrassment or anger, while the sky can redden as the sun sets, and a person can redden a fabric by dyeing it. The word is often used for the human body, describing a blush that spreads across cheeks or the eyes reddening after crying. It captures a gradual shift in color rather than an instant one.
How REDDEN is used
Common for a face or sky turning red, and less often for deliberately dyeing or coloring something red.
- Her cheeks began to redden as everyone turned to look.
- The horizon started to redden just before sunset.
- His eyes reddened after the long night of crying.
- The dye reddened the fabric within minutes.
