What does SWORN mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Bound by, or made under, a formal oath.
A sworn statement carries extra legal weight because the person making it has formally promised that every word is true, and lying afterward can bring criminal charges for perjury. The word also describes people joined by a solemn vow rather than by law, as when two rivals become sworn enemies or old friends become sworn allies. Officials who are sworn in take a formal oath before beginning their duties, marking the moment their authority begins.
