What does RESENT mean in Scrabble?
verb
To feel bitter, angry, or indignant about something, often because it seems unfair.
Resent describes a lingering feeling of injustice or irritation directed at a person, remark, or situation, rather than a sudden burst of anger. People commonly resent being criticised in public, resent a decision they had no say in, or resent a sibling who seems to get preferential treatment. The feeling can be quiet and long-lasting, which is part of why the noun resentment often implies grudges held over time rather than momentary annoyance. The word should not be confused with the unrelated verb meaning to send again, which is spelled the same but pronounced differently and formed from re- plus sent.
