What does SINCE mean in Scrabble?
preposition
From a particular point in the past up until now, or continuously from that time onward.
Since works as a preposition, marking the point in the past from which something has continued, as in since Monday or since the accident. The same word also serves as a conjunction, introducing a clause that gives either a time (since she left) or a reason (since it was raining, they stayed inside), and as an adverb standing alone at the end of a sentence, as in he left and hasn't returned since. English speakers rely on since constantly to link an event or state to the present moment without having to state the exact length of time that has passed. Its close relative because overlaps with the reason sense of since but cannot take on its time-marking role.
