What does RIGID mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Stiff and unable to bend or be forced out of shape; also, strict and unwilling to change.
Rigid describes a physical object, like a metal rod or a rigid airship frame, that keeps its shape under pressure instead of flexing like cloth or rubber. The same word extends naturally to people, rules and habits, describing a strict schedule, an inflexible policy or someone unwilling to adapt their opinions to new circumstances. A rigid attitude is often seen negatively, suggesting stubbornness rather than admirable firmness, while a rigid structure can be a genuine engineering strength when flexibility would be a weakness. The contrast between rigid and flexible runs through both the physical and figurative uses of the word.
