What does SOPOR mean in Scrabble?
noun
rareliterary
A profound, almost unnatural sleep or stupor from which a person is roused only with great difficulty.
Sopor comes directly from the Latin word for sleep and traditionally described a state deeper than ordinary rest, closer to a drugged or feverish unconsciousness than to a peaceful nap. Physicians once used sopor to describe patients sunk in a heavy, unresponsive sleep brought on by illness, fever, or narcotics. The word survives today mainly in older medical writing and literary prose rather than in everyday conversation, where stupor or coma are more likely to appear.
How SOPOR is used
