What does TINGE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A slight trace of a colour, quality or feeling that is present without being dominant.
A tinge sits at the faint end of a scale, describing just enough of something to be noticed rather than a strong or defining amount. The word covers colour, as in a tinge of red in the evening sky, but stretches just as easily to emotion, as in a tinge of regret behind an otherwise cheerful goodbye. English also uses tinge as a verb, so that sadness can tinge a memory the same way dye can tinge a fabric, but the noun remains the more common form.
How TINGE is used
Common in both literal descriptions of faint colour and figurative descriptions of a slight emotional undertone.
- A tinge of pink crept into the clouds at sunset.
- There was a tinge of sarcasm in his reply.
- The old photograph had faded to a tinge of sepia.
- She felt a tinge of guilt about leaving early.
- A tinge of garlic flavoured the otherwise plain broth.
