What does SEDATE mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Calm, composed, and unhurried in manner or behavior.
A sedate person moves and speaks without excitement, giving an impression of steadiness rather than energy. The word is often used to describe a slow-paced way of life, a quiet town, or a gathering that stays orderly rather than lively. Sedate carries a slightly more formal tone than calm, and it can suggest dignity as much as simple quietness. Writers reach for sedate when they want to contrast a scene with something faster or more excitable.
