What does STOLEN mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Taken without permission or right, especially by theft.
Stolen describes something taken from its rightful owner without permission, most often through theft, though the word also covers ideas, moments and glances that are borrowed under cover. A stolen car or a stolen wallet has simply been taken by a thief, but a stolen kiss or a stolen glance is enjoyed quickly, secretly and without anyone noticing. The word began life as the past participle of the verb steal, yet stolen now works as an ordinary adjective placed directly before a noun. English keeps a separate irregular form here rather than adding -ed, which is why speakers say a stolen bicycle and not a steal-ed bicycle.
How STOLEN is used
Common in everyday speech and news reports about theft, and also used figuratively for anything taken or enjoyed secretly.
