What does SAID mean in Scrabble?
adjective
legalformal
Before-mentioned; already named or specified earlier in the same document or discussion.
In legal and formal writing, said is placed before a noun to point back to someone or something already introduced, so that the said tenant or the said property means exactly the tenant or property named a few lines earlier, without repeating the full description. Outside contracts and official documents, the word is sometimes used humorously to imitate that stiff legal tone.
