What does UNSUNG mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Not celebrated or praised, especially despite deserving recognition.
Unsung is almost always paired with hero or heroes today, describing someone whose important work goes unnoticed and unpraised, such as an unsung volunteer or an unsung member of a team. Literally the word means not sung, since it comes from sing, and older writing sometimes used it for a deed or event that poets had not put into verse or song. The figurative sense of quiet, overlooked merit is now by far the more common one.
