What does UNDUE mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Greater than what is right, reasonable, or necessary; excessive or not justified.
Undue describes an amount, degree, or kind of something that goes beyond a fair or proper limit, as in undue haste or undue influence. It often pairs with abstract nouns naming pressure, delay, risk, or attention, marking that the speaker judges the amount involved as unwarranted rather than merely large. Calling a delay undue is a stronger claim than simply calling it long, since the word carries a built-in negative judgment. Undue is related to due, which names what is owed or proper, and the prefix reverses that sense to mean beyond what is owed.
