What does SOOTHE mean in Scrabble?
verb
To calm a person or relieve pain, worry or discomfort with gentle care.
To soothe is to bring ease, whether to a crying baby, a sore throat or an anxious mind. The tools can be words, touch, music or a cool cloth, and the word suggests gentleness rather than a cure. It comes from an old English term meaning to verify or show to be true, and later came to mean humouring someone before taking its present sense.
