What does RESIGN mean in Scrabble?
verb
To voluntarily give up a job, office, or position, or to accept something unwelcome as unavoidable.
Most commonly, a person resigns from a job by formally announcing they are leaving it, often submitting a letter that states the reason and the final date of work. In chess and other games, a player can resign before being checkmated, conceding the game once the position looks hopeless. The same word also appears in the reflexive phrase to resign oneself to something, meaning to stop resisting an unpleasant outcome and accept it calmly instead. Both senses share the idea of yielding, whether yielding a position of power or yielding to circumstance.
