What does UNWELL mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Feeling ill or in poor health, though not necessarily seriously so.
People use unwell as a gentle way to say sick: a manager tells the office that a colleague is unwell without naming the complaint. It sounds a little more polite and formal than the blunt word ill, and it is mostly used after a verb, as in he felt unwell. Notices of cancellation often give it as the reason, since it says little and promises nothing.
How UNWELL is used
Polite, understated; normally used after the verb rather than before a noun.
- The singer was unwell and could not perform tonight.
- I have felt unwell since lunch.
- She called the school to say her son was unwell.
- He looked pale and quite unwell on the ferry.
- If you become unwell during the trip, tell the guide at once.
