What does SUNDER mean in Scrabble?
verb
literary
To break or split something apart, especially forcefully or completely.
To sunder something is to force it into separate parts, whether the object is physical, like a rope, or abstract, like an alliance or a friendship. The word is older and more formal than ordinary split or break, and it survives today mostly in literary, legal, and ceremonial language rather than everyday speech. Its opposite sense of joining survives in the fixed phrase asunder, which literally means in a sundered state.
