What does SINNER mean in Scrabble?
noun
A person who commits sin, especially one who habitually acts against religious or moral law.
Sinner is built directly from the verb sin, describing someone identified by a pattern of wrongdoing rather than a single lapse. In religious writing the word often stands opposite saint, framing human behaviour along a moral scale, but everyday speech has loosened it into a mild, sometimes joking way to admit a small fault. Its long use in scripture and hymns keeps the word feeling slightly formal or old-fashioned compared with plainer terms like wrongdoer.
How SINNER is used
Used mainly in religious and moral contexts, and sometimes humorously or self-deprecatingly for a minor fault.
- The preacher reminded the congregation that every sinner can be forgiven.
- He joked that he was a hopeless sinner when it came to dieting.
- The old hymn calls out to both saint and sinner alike.
- She felt like a sinner for breaking her promise.
- The novel follows a repentant sinner seeking redemption.
