What does STRICT mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Demanding that rules be followed exactly, or applying to a rule or meaning in its narrowest, most exact form.
Strict describes both people and rules: a strict teacher allows little slack, and a strict reading of a law leaves out any generous interpretation. It comes from Latin strictus, meaning drawn tight, and the picture of something pulled taut still fits the sense. It differs from harsh in that a strict person may be perfectly fair, only unbending about the standard.
How STRICT is used
Common in everyday speech for rules, parents, diets and deadlines, and in law for narrow readings of a text.
- Her father was strict about homework before supper.
