What does STOOP mean in Scrabble?
verb
To bend the head and upper body forward and downward, or to lower oneself to behaviour felt to be beneath one's dignity.
To stoop is simply to bend forward at the waist, whether to pick something off the floor, to pass through a low doorway, or to bring one's face down to a child's level. The same word carries a figurative weight when someone is said to stoop to lying, cheating or insulting an opponent, implying that the behaviour lies beneath what that person's usual standards would allow. In North American English, a stoop is also a small porch or short flight of steps at the entrance to a house, a sense borrowed from Dutch settlers in New York and still common in cities such as New York and Philadelphia. A person who stoops habitually, from age or from years of bending over close work, is often described as having a stoop, using the same word as a noun for the posture itself.
How STOOP is used
Common in everyday speech, both for the literal action of bending forward and, more disapprovingly, for lowering oneself to unworthy behaviour; the porch sense is chiefly North American.
- He had to stoop to fit through the low cellar doorway.
- She stooped to tie her daughter's shoelace before they left.
- He would never stoop to spreading rumours about a colleague.
- Neighbours sat talking on the stoop on warm summer evenings.
- Years of farm work had left the old man with a permanent stoop.
