What does SMALL mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Not large in size, amount or degree; little in comparison with what is usual, expected or needed.
Small covers almost any kind of smallness, from a small object that could fit in one hand to a small chance that barely seems worth considering, and it is one of the most frequently used words in the whole language. English keeps a close cousin, little, alongside it, but small tends to sound more neutral and measurable, while little often carries extra warmth or emotion, as in a little dog rather than a small dog. Several set phrases have grown up around the word: small talk names light, unimportant conversation at a social gathering, the small print refers to easily missed conditions written in tiny type, and the small hours describe the very early hours after midnight. As a verb, to small something is rare and mostly archaic, but the adjective and its related adverb, as in chopping vegetables small, remain in everyday use.
