What does TRUTH mean in Scrabble?
noun
The quality or state of being in accordance with fact or reality; a fact or statement that is verified as accurate.
Philosophers have debated the nature of truth for centuries, asking whether it depends purely on matching an objective reality or whether it also involves coherence, usefulness or consensus, but ordinary speakers rely on a simpler, everyday sense of the word. Courtrooms formalize this everyday sense sharply, requiring witnesses to swear to tell the whole truth, distinguishing deliberate honesty from omission or exaggeration as much as from outright lying. English also uses truth for a single fact or claim rather than the abstract quality, as when someone lists several truths about a historical event. The phrase in truth serves as a way of introducing a more accurate or complete statement, often correcting a simpler or misleading impression given earlier in a conversation.
How TRUTH is used
Extremely common in everyday speech and writing, from casual conversation to legal, philosophical and journalistic contexts.
