What does UNTUNE mean in Scrabble?
verb
literaryarchaic
To put something out of tune, or to disturb its natural order or harmony.
Literally, to untune an instrument is to knock its strings or parts out of proper pitch, so that the music it produces sounds wrong. Older and literary writing extends the same idea beyond music, using untune to describe a mind, a voice, or a whole society thrown into confusion and discord. The verb treats a well-ordered state as something fragile, comparing it to a well-tuned instrument that has slipped and now jars on the ear.
