What does SAVAGE mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Fierce, violent and uncontrolled, as an angry animal, a storm or a brutal attack.
Savage describes anything that shows raw, merciless force, from a savage dog to a savage winter or a savage review that tears a book apart. The word comes through French from Latin silvaticus, meaning of the woods, and it first meant wild or untamed. Older writing used it for people thought to live outside so-called civilisation, a use now considered offensive and best avoided. Modern speakers also use it casually to mean very harsh or impressive. As a verb it means to attack with ferocity.
