What does RESIDE mean in Scrabble?
verb
formal
To live in a particular place as a permanent or usual home, or to be present or vested in something.
Official documents, legal forms, and news reports often ask where a person currently resides, since reside sounds more formal than the everyday word live. Beyond people and addresses, reside also describes where power, authority, or a quality is located, as when final decision-making authority is said to reside in a single office. Engineers and scientists extend the word further, saying that a property resides in a particular part of a system, meaning it belongs there or is found there. Despite this range of uses, reside always keeps the core sense of something settled and located in a fixed place.
How RESIDE is used
Common in formal, legal, and official writing about addresses, and also used abstractly about power or qualities.
- Please state the address where you currently reside.
- Ultimate authority over the budget continues to reside with the board.
- The family has chosen to reside in a small coastal town.
- A rare genetic mutation may reside in only a small part of the population.
- Diplomats are required to reside within the host country during their posting.
