What does UNREAD mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Not yet read, or, of a person, not widely read or educated in books.
An unread book or message is one that nobody has opened or looked through yet, a very common use in describing email inboxes or unopened novels on a shelf. Older writing also applies unread to a person, meaning someone who has read little and so lacks broad literary or general knowledge, a sense that survives mainly in more formal or old-fashioned prose. Both senses share the same idea of information that has not yet reached, or been absorbed by, a reader.
How UNREAD is used
Common for unopened books or messages; the sense describing an uneducated person is more formal and less frequent.
- Dozens of unread emails piled up in her inbox.
- The novel sat unread on the shelf for years.
- He was an unread man who distrusted books entirely.
- Many classic novels remain unread by modern students.
- The letter lay unread on the hall table for a week.
