What does UPROAR mean in Scrabble?
noun
A loud, confused disturbance, often with shouting, caused by excitement or anger among many people.
Uproar can describe literal noise, such as a crowd shouting in a hall, and also public outrage that may be expressed mostly in print or online. Despite its look it does not come from up and roar; it was borrowed from Dutch and German words meaning a stirring up or tumult, and English speakers reshaped it to fit roar. It usually names a short, heated episode rather than a lasting state of conflict.
