What does UNTIL mean in Scrabble?
preposition
Up to the point in time when something happens or a stated time is reached.
Until sets a boundary in time, marking the moment at which one state ends, for instance when someone says to wait until noon. The same word also works as a conjunction introducing a clause, for instance stay until the rain stops, where it links the waiting action to the event that ends it. Speakers often choose until over the shorter till in formal writing, though the two words mean essentially the same thing. Because it always points forward to a future moment, until differs from since, which instead points back to a moment in the past.
How UNTIL is used
An everyday function word used constantly in speech and writing to mark a point in time.
- We waited until the bus finally arrived.
