What does SWOON mean in Scrabble?
verb
To faint or lose consciousness briefly, especially from shock, illness, or overwhelming emotion.
Older writers used swoon mainly for physical fainting brought on by shock, heat, or illness, often describing heroines who swoon at dramatic news in old novels. Modern use is frequently playful or exaggerated, describing someone who swoons with delight over a favorite singer, a beautiful view, or good food rather than truly losing consciousness. As a noun, a swoon names the fainting spell itself, a sense that survives mainly in older or deliberately dramatic writing.
