What does REGARD mean in Scrabble?
verb
To look at something steadily, or to think of a person or thing in a particular way.
The verb regard works in two directions at once: it can describe a long, attentive look, and it can describe the opinion a person holds, as when someone is regarded as honest. It also appears in a more formal sense meaning to concern or relate to a matter. The word came into English through French and carries the old idea of watching closely.
