What does SMART mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Having quick intelligence and good judgement, or neat, fashionable and well presented in appearance.
Smart covers two related but distinct ideas: mental quickness, as in a smart student who grasps a problem immediately, and outward neatness, as in a smart suit that looks crisp, clean and well chosen for the occasion. As a verb, to smart means something quite different, to feel a sharp, stinging pain, whether physical, as when a cut smarts under antiseptic, or emotional, as when an unfair criticism makes someone smart with resentment. Modern technology borrowed the adjective again for devices capable of independent, programmed behaviour, so a smart phone or a smart thermostat adjusts itself rather than simply obeying fixed instructions. The phrase smart money refers to funds invested by people considered especially well informed, extending the sense of intelligence into the world of finance and betting.
How SMART is used
Extremely common in everyday speech for both intelligence and neat appearance, and increasingly standard in technology for self-adjusting devices.
- She was easily the smart one of the group, always first with an answer.
- He put on a smart jacket before the interview.
- The cut still smarts a little whenever water touches it.
- Their new smart thermostat learns the family's schedule automatically.
- Investors call it smart money when it moves early into a rising market.
