What does STAND mean in Scrabble?
verb
To support the body in an upright position on the feet.
To stand means to hold the body erect on the feet rather than sitting, kneeling, or lying down. People stand to show respect, to see better over a crowd, or simply because there is nowhere to sit. The verb also extends to objects and structures, so a building or a ladder can stand in a fixed place without falling over. Beyond posture, stand often describes holding a position on an issue, as when someone decides where they stand on a question.
How STAND is used
Used literally for posture and figuratively for holding a position, opinion, or place in a competition.
- He stands by the window every morning.
- The old oak tree still stands at the edge of the field.
- She refused to stand during the announcement.
