What does SPURN mean in Scrabble?
verb
To reject someone or something with scorn or contempt, refusing it firmly and often disdainfully.
To spurn an offer, a suitor or an idea means to turn it away not merely with a plain no but with a clear note of disdain, as though the thing offered were beneath consideration. The word suits formal or literary writing more than casual speech, often describing a proud or wounded refusal, as when a rejected lover is said to have been spurned. A person, a company or even a whole country can spurn an opportunity, and doing so usually implies later regret is possible, since spurning something valuable out of pride or anger can look foolish in hindsight. Spurn sits close in meaning to reject or scorn, but carries a slightly older, more dramatic tone that plainer synonyms lack.
