What does TERMS mean in Scrabble?
noun
The conditions of an agreement, contract, or relationship, especially as accepted or proposed by one party to another.
When two sides settle terms, they fix the specific conditions, prices, or obligations that will govern a contract, a sale, or a truce going forward, so the word almost never appears in the singular with this meaning. Business and legal writing lean on terms constantly, as in the terms of a lease or the terms of surrender, where each clause spells out exactly what every party must do. Terms can also describe how well people get along, so being on good terms with a neighbor means the relationship itself is friendly, while being on bad terms signals open conflict. This collective sense is distinct from the ordinary singular term, which usually names a single word, a period of study, or a set length of time.
How TERMS is used
Used almost exclusively in the plural to describe the whole set of conditions in an agreement or the state of a relationship, rather than one single term.
- The two companies finally agreed on the terms of the merger.
- He refused to accept the terms of the settlement.
- The neighbors have stayed on friendly terms for years.
- Under the terms of the lease, pets were not allowed.
- The generals negotiated the terms of surrender before nightfall.
