What does UNMAKE mean in Scrabble?
verb
To undo something that was made, or to destroy it and strip it of the existence or standing it had.
The verb pairs with make and works as its opposite, so a thing that was built, decided or created can be unmade. It carries a sense of finality that simple words like break lack, because the result is not a repair job but a reversal. Writers favour unmake for large themes such as reputations, treaties and whole worlds, and it appears in older prose with the meaning of ruin.
How UNMAKE is used
Mostly literary or rhetorical; ordinary speech prefers undo or destroy.
- A single careless remark can unmake a reputation built over decades.
