What does SOLID mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Firm and compact in substance, keeping a fixed shape rather than flowing or changing form easily.
A solid object resists being pressed, poured or reshaped the way a liquid or gas does, because its molecules stay locked in a fixed structure. The word extends naturally to reliability, so a solid argument, a solid friendship or a solid performance all suggest something dependable rather than shaky. In building and engineering, solid also distinguishes a filled, uniform material from one that is hollow or laminated.
How SOLID is used
Used constantly in both literal physical description and figurative judgments of reliability.
- The frozen pond had turned completely solid overnight.
- They built the wall from solid stone rather than hollow blocks.
- Her argument was solid enough to convince the whole committee.
- He gave a solid performance despite the pressure.
- The table felt solid and did not wobble at all.
