What does TIRE mean in Scrabble?
verb
To become weary or drained of energy, or to make someone feel that way, especially through effort or lack of interest.
People tire from physical exertion, from long stretches of concentration, or simply from boredom with something repeated too often, and the same word works both ways: a long walk can tire you, and a dull speech can tire an audience. In American English the same spelling also names the rubber ring around a wheel, a separate and unrelated sense.
