What does SAVOR mean in Scrabble?
verb
To taste or smell something with attention and pleasure, or to enjoy an experience fully and without hurry.
When people savor food, they eat it slowly and pay attention to its flavor rather than rushing through the meal. The word extends easily beyond eating, so someone can savor a quiet morning, a piece of good news, or the memory of a trip. To savor something carries a sense of deliberate enjoyment, as if the person wants the pleasure to last rather than pass quickly. British spelling keeps the same meaning under the form savour.
