What does UPSET mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Unhappy, worried, or distressed because of something that has happened.
Upset covers a wide range of mild to serious emotional distress, from a child upset over a broken toy to an adult upset by bad news. The word can also describe a stomach that is disturbed after eating something unsuitable, extending the same core idea of things being thrown out of their normal order. Because upset works as adjective, verb, and noun alike, context usually decides which role the word is playing in a given sentence.
